The Medford School District and the Oregon Department of Transportation are sponsoring the Walk and Roll to School Days. Even though we are a virtual school, the district has opened the door for us to participate.

The district will be hosting a FAFSA workshop for our 12th graders and their families on October 18th from 5:30 p.m to 8 p.m. at NMHS.

FAFSA is the application students will need to complete to receive federal grants, work-study, and loans for college. At this workshop, families will have the opportunity to complete this application with support. We will have Spanish-speaking sessions. More information to come!!

We have had many students miss multiple days in a row. It is really important that students complete the attendance submission form EVERY day, including Fridays.

If students miss 10 days in a row, they will be dropped from MOA.

We have been asked, why iReady testing? This test helps us to determine the level of support your student needs in reading and math. This is not an achievement test, but a diagnostic test.

A medical doctor will draw blood from a patient and perform blood tests. The results of the blood test will indicate the health of the patient. If the tests indicate the patient is in poor health, the doctor will use this information to determine the medical treatment they will prescribe.

This is how we use the iReady results. If the results indicate the student is not on grade level in reading or math, it actually shows us the area of concern - which in turn we will help us determine what are the instructional steps we need to take to bring your child to grade level.

We will be offering the iReady exam to students soon for those who did not take the test during the month of September. The teachers will proctor the exam during their reading and math classes. Students who complete or have already completed both the Reading and Math exams will have their names put in a raffle. We will have 2 top prizes given to 2 students. The first is a gift certificate to the movies and the other is a gift certificate to the Family Fun Center. We will have 3 additional winners who will receive the new MOA shirt designed for the 2022 school year.

Your teachers will be informing the students when the exams will be given in their classrooms. We would appreciate support from our families to make sure that the students attend those classes and complete the assessment.
