Social Media - School Threats
The following letter was sent out on Tuesday, January 24th:
Dear Casa Grande Union High School District,
Yesterday, another post surfaced on social media. Students shared the post with the administration. Both Mr. Mabb and Mr. Danzy worked with the Casa Grande Police Department and spoke with parents and students who may have had information. The Casa Grande Police Department immediately investigated the posts and determined that there is no threat to the students/staff or schools in Casa Grande Union High School. It is extremely important that you talk with your students about posts seen on social media. Ask them to report anything that is concerning. Additionally, be sure to ask them not to repost anything that may cause undo concern to others. We will work with the Casa Grande Police Department to investigate any potential threat to the schools. We will continue to be vigilant in our efforts to support safety for all on all campuses. Please contact the site administration if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Dr. Battle
Casa Grande Union High School Superintendent
ACT Aligned Benchmarks and Progress Checks
ACT Aligned Benchmarks and Progress Checks In order to support all of our students in meeting college and career readiness benchmarks measured by the ACT our students are taking regular assessments to measure their progress. Progress checks are administered every two weeks and we will be recognizing students who score at least 5/6 on these assessments. Our next full-length benchmark is scheduled for January 24th. Students can access their scores on these assessments using these instructions.
We wish all of our students Good Luck on the bencmark. We will be reviewing the benchmark data and preparing for the ACT taken in April.
