Aloha everyone!
Welcome back to school; hope
everyone had a fun and restful spring break.
In three weeks we will begin our Smarter Balanced Assessments with the
junior class. Teachers have been preparing
students for these high stakes tests by reviewing content and exposing them to
the different format they’ll see on the actual tests— questions that will have
more than one correct answer, short and
extended essays, and embedded technology like videos and audio clips that they’ll
have to incorporate into their answers.
The test is a computer adaptive test which means that student questions
will be given based on how well/not so well the student answers the previous
question(s). All in all, the Smarter Balanced
Assessment is extremely different and much longer (8 hours total) than any test
our students have taken before. Even if
you don’t have a junior student, please take some time to go on to this link
and look around at some of the test questions your son or daughter will be
asked to answer.

see what the grade 11 math and English questions look like.
We are in the middle of spring
sports – boys’ volleyball, baseball, girls’ softball, and boys/girls tennis,
golf, and track. Please see the calendar
below for dates and times that our students will be competing this week and
come support our student-athletes!
Have a good week everyone; here’s
