From the Principal’s Desk This week second quarter report cards and a copy of the upcoming state testing schedule will be mailed home to families at Lakewood High School. The testing schedule is also part of this newsletter. Starting in mid-February and continuing through the end of March, we will be implementing the first round of testing that was outlined for us by the state. Our goal is to maintain a sense of normalcy and continued instructional coherence for students during this first window of testing. Most of the early testing will be for current freshmen (true 9th graders not repeat 9th graders or 10th graders in 9th grade Math, Science and English courses) as part of the new graduation requirements. The U.S. History and Government exams, however, will test any students currently enrolled in those courses. Students who took Government first semester will not be expected to take the Government Exam. This year we are also expected to administer the OGT to current 10th graders, as they still are held accountable to the former graduation requirements. These tests continue to be high stakes for those students and we will continue with a modified OGT schedule during the week of March 16th-20th. This will be the final year of OGT testing. Students will be tested in the completed large group areas that will serve as lunch rooms during transition. Testing will take place 1st, 2nd and 3rd periods, starting on February 16th. Testing groups will be assigned alphabetically. Students will be instructed to report to school at 8:00am, regardless of late arrival status, and will be sent to either one of the large group spaces or to Lecture Hall 2 for testing. Various smaller venues will be used in compliance with students’ 504 or IEP testing accommodations. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we adjust to meet the new graduation requirements and prepare students for the new assessments. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.

MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
February looks to be an important month for the
district as the first round of online assessments
associated with the Common Core will be given
to students in grades 3-12 for English and math.
High school students will also be tested in
science and social studies. The testing begins the
week of Feb. 16 and continues into March. This
will be the first real test of our preparedness for
these new online tests and I am confident that all
the hours of work our staff has dedicated to
getting our students ready will yield positive
results.
February is also the month that we will see
another one of our elementary buildings
demolished. Lincoln started coming down in late
January. Roosevelt will follow this month.
Grant, which had more asbestos removal to be
done, may come at the end of the month or in
March.
While there are bittersweet feelings about saying
goodbye to these long-serving school buildings,
the progress being made toward new buildings
rising on those sites is exciting. The knowledge
that all this activity will lead to one day
providing our students with the best facilities for
learning makes it all worth it.

Counselors to meet with each student on their caseload and
plan courses to take for the next school year! We will be
sending course guide books home and course request
worksheets the first week of February. Counselors will then
meet with students individually during their science classes
within the first couple weeks of February. If your child does not
have a science class or is absent on the day assigned to his or
her teacher, please have your child see their counselor. During
these scheduling appointments, counselors will be reviewing
student course selections, discussing career and college
planning, and reviewing grades and credit status. We will then
send verifications home to parents at the end of the month to
add or make any changes.
