From the Principal....
October/November 2020
Dear Families,
Our busses will be running on both days to bring all students in for the testing, even those who have chosen to be fully online. Parents can also bring their child to school on these dates, just use the student parking lot at the north end of the building for dropping off.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER on Test Days:
- Students will not be permitted to enter the building until 7:30 a.m. on these two days.
- We have various dismissal times on both days. Check the schedule on the back of the previously mentioned letter for the correct dismissal time for your student.
- Students will be offered a sack lunch when they leave and provided snacks during the break periods.
- Students need to come to school ready to test each morning with several sharpened #2 pencils and a calculator.
- Students cannot have any electronic devices, including cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, etc.
- Students will not be dismissed until the end of testing, early dismissals disrupt the testing for others who are still working.
- Students should leave their cell phones home on this day!
Finally, we hope that your child comes to school well-rested and well-fed, as testing will be extensive and exhaustive. Please be aware that because of the stringent testing conditions of each test, any student not reporting to school on time, cannot take the test.
Mr. Wiskur
Student Schedules
Remember, your child needs to follow their schedule exactly as if they came to school every day. This is how they will get through the curriculum this year. If they continue to struggle with their assignments, they should schedule a time to meet with their instructors during scheduled office hours. Teachers are available every day between 1:35 p.m.- 2:25 p.m. to have either a virtual or face to face conference period.
With all the challenges of on-line learning, keeping students focused on their academics is undoubtedly a challenge for not only our teachers but for you. It is vitally important that you as a parent keep in touch with your child’s teachers and stay up on their progress in all courses. The easiest way to do this is by using ParentVue. This can be found on our website under the Parent tab.
I truly believe that if you show an interest in your child’s education, and they know you are checking on them, they will do better in the long run. Working together and keeping open lines of communication will ensure that your child receives the best education possible.
We are in our seventh week of school and the end of the first marking period is quickly approaching. November 13th marks the end of the first quarter. As I've stated many times...PLEASE make sure you are checking ParentVue daily. If you are doing this, there should be no surprise when you see what your child is getting for grades in their classses.
