High School Highlights
Weekly Updates from Big Walnut High School
April 18, 2019
We made it through the majority of state testing this week! We have one day left; Tuesday will be testing for American History and American Government. All other students will have a 2-hour delay. Next week will bring our prom promise assembly for juniors and seniors, a senior class meeting and our Academic Signing Day, sponsored by our Academic Boosters. May will be here soon, and with it sunshine and warm weather (we hope!). Please encourage your student(s) to finish out the year EAGLE STRONG!
Please remember there is no school tomorrow, Friday, April 19 or Monday, April 22.
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teachers, school counselor or the administration if you have any questions or concerns. Feel free to contact the main office at 740-965-3766 between the hours of 7:00 and 3:15.
Spring Testing Concludes Tuesday
Our final two-hour delay for spring testing will be on Tuesday. All students in American History and American Government will need to report at 7:40 am with their school-issued chromebook, charged and ready to go! Any student who missed a day of testing will be able to make-up their test Wednesday - Friday of next week, however there will be NO DELAY.
If you have any questions, please contact the main office, the school counseling office or the teacher of the specific course. Thank you!
