April and May Newsletter
Ogden Preparatory Academy
OPA Community,
We are in the final stretch of the 2015-16 school year. It is a time of testing, celebration, trips and active days.
1. SAGE Testing: The testing window at OPA has been reduced to a two week time-frame and begins on April 18th and ends on April 29th. We see student testing as the opportunity to celebrate what they have learned. The students have taken two practice tests this year and should be familiar with the style of the SAGE test. This is the summative measure for their year of work. As parents, celebrating the amount of progress students have made in their learning is a huge support during this time of year. In addition, well rested and present students do amazing things.
2. The Dominican Republic Trip has returned and enjoyed by all that went. The Spain trip will leave on April 28th. A Washington D.C. trip is scheduled for May. The secondary southern Utah trip is scheduled for June 6-10th. In addition, several field trips and outdoor activities are on the horizon between now and the end of the year. Please watch the backpacks for information about your students upcoming activities.
3. We have found a small mistake on the 2015-16 calendar. The 25th of May is the last day of school, it is accurate on the graphic calendar but inaccurate on the written calendar. So adjust your summer vacation to begin on MAY 25, 2016.
