As we head into state testing week, we want to ensure everyone is prepared, rested, and ready to succeed. Our students have worked incredibly hard this semester, and this is their opportunity to show off their "Wildcat Excellence."
Please review the following schedule and important reminders to help make this week a success.
This week, swing by Dion’s for pizza on the 14th in the evening to help us raise money for all our students.

Preparation Checklist for Students
Early to Bed: Aim for 8 hours of sleep each night to stay sharp and focused.
Healthy Breakfast: Eat a good breakfast at home or arrive early to eat in the cafeteria.
Tech Ready: Chromebooks should be brought to school fully charged every single day.
Attendance Matters: Being present and on time is the most important factor for success. Please avoid doctor's appointments or early check-outs during testing windows if possible.
Device-Free Zone: Remind students that cell phones and smartwatches must be powered off and stored away during testing to maintain a secure environment.
A Note for 7th Graders
While 8th grade continues Science testing on Wednesday and Thursday, 7th grade students will follow their normal class schedules. However, on Wednesday, 7th grade will still participate in the extended lunch period as well.
Encouragement
To our students: You are more than a test score, but we want you to give your best effort. Take your time, read carefully, and use the strategies your teachers have taught you. We believe in you!
Thank you, parents, for your continued support and for helping our students arrive prepared. Let’s have a great week of testing!
