Final Exam Updates
Teachers can do any of the following:
- Use the district exam and grade as is
- Modify the district exam as desired, since files will be in Word format
- Create and use your own final exam and not use the district exam
We no longer have access to CiMS, so there's no testing format in the district to allow online testing. Of course, teachers could use ALEKS to create and automatically grade tests. Principals will be receiving instructions on how to order final exams for those wishing to use the district exam.
Accelerated Math Summer School
Students should have taken home a letter with their results. A link is provided for them to obtain more information and to enroll in the special summer school course. For more information, please visit http://www.ccsoh.us/acccmath

Thread Count: The Intersection of Math and Fiber Arts
MAY 2 - JULY 6, 2019
Fiber arts have a deep connection to mathematics. Calculation and measurement are readily employed in constructing objects made of yarn, fabric, thread, reed, and the myriad of materials utilized by contemporary artists as they stitch, weave, and embellish. Thread Count is curated by Jane Black.
The following artists are featured in the exhibition: Deborah Bewley, Sandra Palmer Ciolino, Judy Kahle, Aimee Lee, John Lefelhocz, Janice Lessman-Moss, Migiwa Orimo, Christina Pereyma, Jessica Pinsky, Ian Ruffino, Judy Rush, Petra Soesemann, and Mary VanWassenhove.
ALL EVENTS AND PROGRAMS ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
