East April 3

Spring Break | April 3-10

Midview Local Schools will be closed.

State Testing | April 15- April 30

State achievement tests gauge how well students are growing in the knowledge and skills outlined in Ohio’s Learning Standards. It is important for students to be present and on time on test days. Please make sure your child has an opportunity to eat breakfast (at home or school), gets a good night's sleep, and charges their Chromebook every evening. Our fifth and sixth-grade students will test the following days:

• Grades 5 & 6 ELA testing: April 15 & April 16
• Grade 5 Science testing: April 22 & April 23
• Grade 5 & 6 Math testing: April 29 & April 30

Spring MAP Testing | May 7 -12

MAP assessments (taken in the fall, winter, and spring), joined with other data points, provide detailed, actionable data about where each child is on his or her unique learning path. The spring assessment will measure our students’ progress in reading and math.

School Fees Reminder

As we near the end of the school year, we kindly ask families to check if their child has any outstanding school fees. To view your balance and make a payment, please visit our fees web page. Secretaries are also available to assist families in creating a payment schedule if needed. Please note that action must be taken on unpaid fees in order for your child to participate in end-of-year activities, including dances, field trips/camps and field days.

Mrs. Moore's 6th-grade scientists are using PhET and Gizmo virtual labs to explore how atoms move in solids, liquids, and gases. We also are using the RACE strategy (Restate, Answer, Cite, Explain) to write like real scientists. Instead of just "guessing," students must Cite specific evidence from our virtual labs to prove their answers. This helps our 6th graders build strong argumentative writing skills that they will use in both Science and Language Arts.

Our 5th and 6th grade STEM/PLTW classes transformed Midview East’s hallways into the Middie Makers Upcycled Putt Putt Course for K-6 Family STEM Night on Tuesday, March 24. Homeroom engineering design teams were able to bring ancient civilizations, landmarks, and landforms to life by upcycling cardboard and other items. Coding Crew members applied their robotics skills to animate parts of the holes. Most importantly, students were able to think critically, work together, and use their imaginations while incorporating social studies learning into a STEM project. Congratulations to all of our students on a job well-done in the Middie Makers Upcycled Putt Putt Challenge! It was great to see so many of our East families at STEM Night. The results of the “Crowd Favorite” voting are:

5th Grade

2nd Place - The Great Golden Gate Escape - Mrs. Zeman’s class

1st Place - Liberty Launch - Mrs. McCreary’s class

6th Grade

2nd Place - Into the Land of Mesopotamia - Ms. Hirsh’s class

1st Place - The River War - Mrs. Levay’s class
