State testing
Testing is Right Around the Corner!!
As we plan ahead for students to participate in upcoming state assessments, please be sure your student takes the following steps to prepare for success: (please help us remind them)
*Come to school well rested
*Eat breakfast either at home or at school
*Turn your laptop completely off at night (not just on sleep mode)
*Be sure your laptop is fully charged
*Bring corded earbuds from home if you choose to wear them during the test
*Be prepared to do your best and try your hardest
*When provided the opportunity by your teacher, take the practice test seriously and do your best to answer the questions accurately. Pay attention to the types of questions being asked of you.
*Do not rush through the test and review your answers before submitting
The Fall/Winter State Assessments are as follows and will take place in students' regularly scheduled classes.

School Based Health Centers
A reminder: In partnership with Choptank Community Health System, we have high quality, convenient healthcare and dental services facility located right in our school.
Medical: If your child starts to feel sick at school, the school nurse can refer them to the school based health center, with parent permission. A Choptank Health provider will conduct an exam, run diagnostics, and even call in a prescription if necessary – all without leaving school. Records will be shared with your child’s doctor and if ongoing care is required, this will also be coordinated with the doctor.
Dental: The Choptank dental team will be at school later this year. Services include screenings, cleanings, sealants, fluoride treatments, and emergency visits with care coordinated with your child’s primary dentist.
Insurance & Fees: Choptank Health accepts most insurance plans and has a sliding fee scale for eligible families without insurance.
