Coming Up:
1. September 21st MAP Make up testing
MAP Testing
MAP Testing has been successfully completed. All our middle school students have been tested in Math and all students with the exception of beginner EAL have been tested in language usage and reading. This is a test to measure academic progress. These results will enable teachers to gauge where students are currently, in what areas they are strong and what areas they need to work on and help teachers to be able to put the appropriate strategies in place to assist students in strengthening areas in which they need help. The MAP test score results will be sent home in the students mid-semester report cards. We will have another testing session April 9th-May 3rd.
FCD
We have concluded our sessions with 6th grade-8th grade Friday September 21st. Our FCD presenter, Charlotte engaged and challenged all our middle school students in informative and interactive sessions!! Some of the areas of discussion with the students included topics of what are drugs, what do they do, why teens use drugs, warning signs, healthy highs, how to help a friend if you suspect he/she is using drugs and how to make healthy decisions.
Communication tips for parents included topics such as how to listen, responding, talking about alcohol and drugs to your child and modeling good behavior.
FDC or Freedom from Chemical Dependency, is a non-profit organization that provides alcohol, tobacco and other drug education to school and colleges worldwide.
