We have worked extremely hard this year and have accomplished so much. Our Final Exams are approaching and each grade level has created a schedule that will meet the needs of your children.
Please remember that final exams/projects count as 20% of your child’s final average. These summative assessments are created to measure the entire year’s worth of information. A project is meant to be multi-disciplinary and allows for children to apply what they have learned in an authentic manner. Each grade level and subject area will measure progress in one of these ways.
All days will run from 7:36 – 2:34 except for Thursday, June 14th (7th & 8th grade 7:36 – 11:00, 5th & 6th grade 11:00 – 2:34). In addition, our last day, Friday 6/22/18 will be a half day for students as we will dismiss at approximately 11:15.
As always, if you have any questions please call our Middle School Main Office at 845-528-8101.
