Steak Dinner
Thank you to everyone who came and supported our students during the 27th Annual Steak Dinner An Evening with Friends. We had a sold out crowd of 455+, great music provided by our Show, Intermediate, and Cougar Choirs (led by Debbie Hollis & Angelia Thomas), amazing food (provided by Karen Dirksen and her staff and the grill team), and wonderful company (provided by you all). Thank you to all the students who served, staff who helped, parents and grandparents who volunteered, and so many others. We could not have done it without you! This is the best school with the best people!
ASPIRE TESTING
ACT ASPIRE testing begins this week. We find that it is important for your child to get plenty of rest and to eat a good breakfast prior to testing. ACT Aspire will give us important information that will allow us to determine how your child is progressing at their current grade level, as well as along their overall path toward future college and career readiness.
ACT Aspire will tell us which important skills, abilities, and knowledge your student has now, and which ones still need to be learned in order to be successful in school in the future. ACT Aspire will help your child’s teacher understand where your child is succeeding, as well as where extra help or academic focus is needed. ACT Aspire will also provide specific suggestions for improving skills.
Your student will be taking the ACT Aspire [English, math, reading, science and writing] assessment during April 18-22. Please be sure that they are well rested and have a good breakfast in order to help them do their best. We encourage you to treat each day this week like any other school day as we want to create as little stress as possible for our students.
