Diley Parents,

All students will be taking state assessments April 11th through April 25th. Testing will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. Please avoid scheduling morning appointments during the testing days. Students will be taking the assessments on their Chromebooks; therefore, it is imperative that their Chromebooks are fully charged the morning of testing. Students will also need to bring their earbuds or a headset (wireless earbuds will not be permitted). We are encouraging students to leave their cell phones, Apple watches, and other devices home during testing. If not, they will be collected each morning by their teachers and returned after testing each day.

Below you will find testing dates for both 5th and 6th graders as well as some helpful tips to help prepare your child for the test!

"Summer Reinforcement Programming"

April 20th, 6:30pm

This year's summer programming focuses on learning reinforcement for students who may need additional time with grade level learning. Join us on April 20th, at 6:30pm to learn more about summer opportunities that will be available for students in need of additional intervention. We will also share summer family engagement opportunities found in the Pickerington Community.

Per the Ohio Department of Health, all students entering grade 7 must show proof of vaccination against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap vaccine) and meningococcal disease (MCV4 vaccine).

You may take the following document with you to your doctor to use as documentation of these vaccinations, or you may submit an immunization report with the dates of

both vaccinations. Please return this documentation as soon as possible to your child’s school nurse. If this is not provided during the grade 6 school year, you will need to send this information to the junior high that your child will attend prior to the beginning of the next school year. The middle school nurses will forward all immunization documentation received to the junior high nurses at the end of this year.
