Library Books/Classroom Competition
WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are currently in the process of inventorying our middle school library books. Students will be participating in Classroom Competitions starting Monday, March 14 to turn in as many missing library books as possible! Please help us in looking in your home, cars, etc to find any books that may have been misplaced during the last year or so. Students who still have books missing after the classroom competition will be given a notification for specific books and possible obligations.
We appreciate your help in advance!

M-STEP (Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress)
The Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress, or M-STEP, a 21st Century computer-based assessment designed to gauge how well students are mastering state standards. These standards, developed for educators by educators, broadly outline what students should know and be able to do in order to be prepared to enter the workplace, career education training, and college. M-STEP results, when combined with classroom work, report cards, local district assessments and other tools, offer a comprehensive view of student progress and achievement (mich.gov/mde). MSTEP for grades 3-11 will begin after spring break. Following are links to practice items that you can use to help prepare your child.
