Below is the schedule for end of course state assessments. Please make sure your child has a good breakfast, arrives at school on time, and gets plenty of sleep so they can show their best on these tests!

Important: Cell Phone Collection During State Testing

To ensure the highest level of test security and comply with state regulations, we will be collecting all student cell phones and smart devices at the start of each testing session.

While this differs from our usual daily procedures, this temporary change is essential to maintain a secure testing environment. All devices will be stored and returned immediately following the test.

We truly appreciate your support and cooperation in helping our students stay focused and successful!

ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery)

The ASVAB is one of the best career exploration tools available. It measures your strengths in areas like mechanics, electronics, and spatial awareness, helping you discover which career fields (civilian or military) best suit your natural talents. Test Date: April 15, 2026

Accuplacer

Planning on participating in CCP? The Accuplacer helps schools determine your skill levels in reading, writing, and math. Scoring well can help you bypass remedial courses. Test Date: April 24, 2026

See your counselor to reserve your spot for these sessions!

We need your help! Please remind your child to bring their Chormebook with them everyday to school and to charge it every night. This will help students have access to all instructional materials and help with smooth classroom procedures.

Have you had a conversation with your kids about expectations for Prom night? Parents are the most influential voice and relationship in their kids' lives and tough conversations are often the most important ones.

The week of Prom we will be emphasizing prevention messages with our students and we wanted to share some information with parents to keep the conversation going. Together, we can help stress the importance of being safe and responsible - before, during, and after prom.

For Prom night planning and tips, you may find the following information helpful in helping your student make plans for a safe and fun prom weekend.
