March is always filled with much excitement and anticipation with CSAP testing, spring break, band and choir performances and spring sports. Your support and encouragement for your student to keep their grades up, attend all classes daily as well as giving their best effort on these additional activities makes a huge difference in your student’s attitudes and performance.

We will have CSAP testing March 17 and 18 as well as March 24 and 25 which will involve all freshmen and sophomores. The attached schedule gives you additional information as to which tests are given on each day. The CSAP results give us valuable information on how are students are achieving in math, reading, writing and science. Our teachers use this data, along with assessments given throughout the year, to plan instruction for your student. Although the testing process may seem time consuming, it is indeed a strong measurement for how our students are improving as compared to students around the state. The new growth model actually shows how your student has progressed this year as compared to other students who were at their same level the previous year.
