Students of the week!!!!!!!

Great ARTICLE about the importance of knowledge within the teaching of skills. Essential Skills elevates the knowledge base students need to know and understand in order to think at a higher level. A student cannot be proficient if they do not have a strong understanding of the content knowledge. The content understanding takes place in the basic and developing portions of a rubric and then it is the deep thinking and connections (skills) a student makes that elevates their understanding of the content to a proficient level. This is also why all of our subjects are important!

May 7 - May 18 - 3rd Floor High School AP Testing

The entire 3rd floor will be occupied by our high school students for AP testing. As a district this was a great location to utilize for testing as it is quiet and meets the strict guidelines for the testing environments.
Therefore, you cannot reserve or have students utilize the hallways, auditorium, or classrooms on the 3rd floor throughout these two weeks.
High school staff and testing proctors will be on school grounds as well as the high school students. If any were needing assistance with where AP testing is taking place please assist them with getting to the 3rd floor. They are using basically all the rooms aligned with the 21st Century Lab and the auditorium as a "waiting room".
