IOWA Assessments in 8th Grade
During the week of Oct. 21-25, 2019, the 8th grade students will take the IOWA Assessments, which are standardized, norm-referenced tests. The results from these assessments will be used to show parents and teachers how the students are performing nationally in comparison to other students at the same grade level. Scores on nationally-normed tests are also one criterion used to determine placement for the Talented and Gifted program.
Testing will begin each morning at 8:55 a.m. to about 10:30 a.m. and students will follow an adjusted schedule for the remainder of the day. Students must be on time each day or they will not be able to take the test. They will be required to take the test during the make-up sessions in the afternoons.
The following tests will be given:
Monday, Oct. 21 – Reading
Tuesday, Oct. 22 – Vocabulary and Written Expression
Wednesday, Oct. 23 – Math Concepts
Thursday, Oct. 24 – Science and Social Studies
Friday, Oct. 25 – Spelling, Capitalization, Punctuation, Computation
The IOWA Assessments are taken on school-based iPads or desktop computers.
In preparation for the test, students should:
· Get a good night’s sleep
· Charge iPads fully every night
· Arrive to school on time
· Eat breakfast
· Bring a novel to read if they finish early
· Leave cell phones and/or iWatches in their lockers
If you have any questions, please contact Anita Erickson, 8th Grade Assistant Principal at ericksona@fultonschool.org .

ALL paperwork must be completed correctly and personally handed in to Coach Larson ONLY at school by 4:05 p.m. on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1st. Do not wait until the last minute to turn in ALL forms – if a signature(s) and forms are missing the student will be ineligible to participate.

JCHS Pink Out Shirts
Johns Creek High School is selling Pink Out shirts and Pink Ribbons at Autrey Mill again this year. On Wednesday, October 16th and Thursday, October 17th in the morning before school, they will be set up in the lobby. Shirts are $15 each and ribbons are $1 each. If students buy a ribbon, they will be able to write the name of a person who has battled breast cancer on it. (More than one may be purchased) They can also write a positive message if they do not have a name to put on a ribbon. The ribbons will be displayed in the lobby at Johns Creek High school during the month of October. They will also be displayed at the Pink Out game October 18.
To purchase shirts and ribbons, please send money in with your student on either one of the days. If you want to send a check, make sure it is written out to GAA and all contact information is included on the check including phone numbers. Please put student’s name in the memo section.
We encourage you to attend the game this year and wear your Pink Out shirts! There will be a silent auction and a raffle full of wonderful items donated by generous people and businesses in our community. As JCHS has done every year, 100% of the funds raised will go to the Karen Wellington Foundation for LIVING with Breast Cancer. The KWF focuses on putting FUN on the calendars of women and families LIVING with breast cancer by sending them on special vacations, relaxing spa days, dinners out, concerts and other FUN-ONLY activities. Because of the generous donations from last year, JCHS was able to sponsor four women battling breast cancer IN OUR COMMUNITY! The funds stay right here in the Johns Creek/North Fulton area.
