Ohio State Tests (OST) - 3rd-6th Graders - TEST DATES!!!

The Ohio State Tests are one way that our school is "rated." Our children are GROWING and DEVELOPING! If they continue to GROW, as a collective group, at the rate they are now, our school is PROJECTED to improve by ONE STAR in ACHIEVEMENT - reaching a 2-star status!

Our GOAL at GME is exactly that: slow & steady growth which yields acheivement over time!


What can you do as a parent to help? The #1 thing is to TALK with your CHILD about always doing their PERSONAL BEST! That's half the battle!


A good night's sleep, on-time arrival, a charged device & a positive mindset are all good too!


WE can do this TOGETHER!


Here are the TEST DATES:


4th, 5th & 6th Grade READING - April 5th & 6th

4th, 5ht & 6th Grade MATH - April 24th & 25th

5th Grade SCIENCE - May 1st & 2nd


3rd grade READING - April 12th & 13th

3rd grade MATH - April 26th & 27th


Children who are served by an IEP may be tested on a different day/time depending on their specific needs. Please consult your child's teacher if you have any questions!

Attendance!

We NEED your children to come to school EVERY DAY unless they are sick!

SPRING BREAK - MONDAY-FRIDAY - MARCH 27th-31st

Spring Break is next week! I'm hoping for warmer weather! Please enjoy the time with your families! Look for the APRIL Family Newsletter by week's end! We are "rounding 3rd and heading into home!"

TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION - VERY IMPORTANT!

It has come to our attention that the family help center or technology help desk have been giving ticket numbers to teachers and families that call asking for help. Our school is not equipped to handle ITM ticket numbers. We are working with the district to sort out this miscommunication.


We would like all tickets to be forwarded to Mr. Rob through this google form so they may be redirected appropriately.

Thank you for your patience! We hope to have this all sorted out soon.
