Important Information
NGA - The next generation assessments are here and I thank you all for your hard work in preparing yourselves and our students for the new tests. Our 9th grade teachers have done an outstanding job of putting kids in front of the assessments, helping fellow staff members navigate the online tools and supporting each other. Great Work!
Some additional items to remember regarding the tests:
- Some students and families have decided to opt out of the test. It is important that you continue to provide instruction for the students not taking the test.
- This can be a stressful time for our students with the demands of the classes, tests and being a teen. Please support our students by showing we care about them and the challenges they face.
- As you know, students are being tested in groups. Some students may be absent from you class while in a test. Please ensure that these students are not missing any instruction. Provide resources on your websites, blogs, Google Classrooms, etc. as well as classroom instruction.
- Please have parents contact me if they have general questions regarding the assessments.
- The Final 2014-2015 PBA Schedule folder that was shared with you has been modified due to some recent changes that needed to occur with the groupings. All student testing schedules that were handed out in class are correct; however, the groupings in the main calendar may have changed. Please get the latest calender by visiting the shared folder here.

| Kami Goodrick |
Swimming & Diving - Kami Goodrick (9th) took second place in Division II at the State Diving Championships in Canton this past week. This is an amazing accomplishment for this freshman student who just began diving this year. On Thursday and Friday last week, Kirstin Boni participated in her first State Swim Championships. Kirstin won her heat and placed 9th overall in the 100 breaststroke. Ryan Gleske competed for the 4th time in his HS career and placed 7th in the individual medley and 7th in the 100 breaststroke. Please congratulate all three of these student athletes!
Schoopoint Teacher Sites- Attention all teachers that post class information on our Schoolpoint website. In the middle of March we will begin to convert to a new web host provider. During this period of data migration, teacher's need to keep track of information that is posted to the site. It is possible that once your data has migrated over to the new site, new postings will not be included. If you use Google Classroom, Google Sites, Moodle, Schoology, etc, to post your class information, you will not be affected by this conversion. Please see me with any questions.
PARCC testing and the Library – Starting Monday, March 2nd through Friday, March 13th the Library will be closed due to NGA testing. Please do not send any printing jobs to the library, or to Room 110. Copying will need to be done in the main office. Please do not send any students to the library and refrain from cutting through the library yourselves. The open computer lab will be available for teacher-led classes, with the exception of 2nd and 6th periods, with the request to keep the volume low. Your flexibility and accommodation of these requests is appreciated.
