ISAT Week is upon us!


ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS: CURRENTLY, I AM UNABLE TO ACCESS THE ONLINE GRADEBOOK TO ENTER GRADES. I AM WAITING FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED. UNTIL THEN, NO GRADES (INCLUDING FINAL EXAMS/ EXTRA CREDIT OR WORLD WAR I PRIMARY SOURCE ASSESSMENTS) WILL BE ENTERED. FOR THE SEVENTH GRADERS, ALL WORK WILL BE RETURNED BACK TO YOU MONDAY.
The "madness" does not only happen in March, but starting with ISATs.
Students will be taking their ISAT tests next week. Testing in their first period classes, students are reminded to bring a supply of #2 pencils, their calculators (if not already collected), a silent reading book, and healthy snacks with clear bottle of water (not flavored.) In recognition of the demands of the week, there will not be any A.M. or lunch help sessions, unless specifically arranged by a teacher. Students are encouraged to get plenty of rest and do their best on these tests. Our work will be done primarily in class, but students might have to "think" about a concept or engage in some small work outside of class. However, all attempts have been made to work well in class so that students can do what is needed to perform their best on these tests.
Once ISATs are over, next week will begin the third trimester and what will come for all of our students will be a fitting capstone to what hopes to be a successful year of scholarship.

All best.
Mr. Kannan
