Spring state testing will start April 17. On testing days, non-testing students are not required to report until 10:00. School transportation will be running on a regular schedule during testing. Specific bell schedules for test days will go out soon to give time for families to prepare alternate transportation if needed.

We want to make sure each student is prepared for their test. You can find practice tests here. If your student needs additional practice or support they can reach out to their content teacher, their counselor, or assistant principal to get connected.

Seniors (and senior families), as the 4th quarter grading period approaches, it is time to revisit "Senior Incentive!" 4th quarter begins Monday, March 13th

Senior Incentive Plan: Senior students may be exempt from exams in May if they meet all four of the following thresholds during Quarter Four:

1. B or better in the course

2. No more than 3 total tardies (sum of tardies to school and all classes)

3. 0 Unexcused absences - meaning all absences must be accompanied by a parent/guardian or doctor's note. ** Only 10 parent/guardian notes are available for use per school year **

4. No ISA or Suspensions from school.

Note: Seniors taking Government must still complete the Ohio State Test/End of Course exam in April.
