Important Information


2018 Testing Information - I have included a new tab at the top of this bulletin that will include testing information for the 2018 AIR End of Course Exams.  Recently, the state sent out information that Ohio will not use extended response questions on the Math, Science and Social Studies EOC's.  Included in this link is information regarding the question formats that will be used.  I have pasted them below, but please read the additional information here



NEOTIE Conference - On Saturday, October 28th, the next NEOTIE Conference will be held at Beachwood High School. It's a Technology Innovators in Education conference put on by Chagrin, Orange, Kenston, Beachwood and West Geauga. Registration is limited, so sign up soon. Individual registration is $17 and includes breakfast, lunch, MANY giveaways, t-shirt, and access to all keynote and breakout sessions. Group registration and discounts are available if you sign up as a team. All registrations are handled using Eventbrite from TicketRoar. Staff members can receive PDUs for attending and have the option to purchase college credit.

PSAT/NMSQT - The PSAT/NMSQT Assessment will be given to all sophomores and interested juniors on Wednesday, September 11th. The test will begin immediately at 7:25; therefore, we will not have a late start for those taking the test. Second period teachers need to be sure this is communicated with your sophomore and junior students. Students should come prepared with two number 2 pencils. Last year the test went a little into 5th period.  Since we are using the cafeteria, we will make an announcement to hold students in class at the end of 4th if the test runs long. 

Students Tardy to Class - Please set the expectation that all students need to be to your class on time.  Issue suspension points to student who do not get to class by the time the bell rings.  If a student is late to your first period class, please send them to the attendance office.

  • Homecoming Game - Come cheer on the Wolverines as they beat Orange!  The Homecoming Queen will be announced during pre-game
  • Saturday, October 7th 
    • Homecoming Dance - 8pm-11pm - The theme this year is “Hollywood". It is really shaping up to be a great theme and year. We have a great DJ,and photo booth. I am in need of some ticket takers for the dance. You would need to come a little before 8pm and only stay until around 9pm (you do NOT need to stay for the entire dance!). This is an AWESOME opportunity to see your students all "dressed up" and outside of the classroom. Students are always excited to see their teachers at the dance, and I am always appreciative of those willing to help! As an added bonus, you get brownie points with the administration!
