We are almost through the state testing season! We had a great SBA session at the beginning of this month, and the Algebra End-of-Course (EOC) exam is on Monday, June 6th, Biology EOC is Tuesday the 7th, and Geometry EOC is on Wednesday the 8th. Your students?Family teachers will be able to tell you which tests your students have to take, if any. People have asked me my opinion on state and federal testing requirements? and I do have opinions, not because the assessments are bad, but because so much time and energy are wrapped up in them. But the really important thing is the amazing effort and grit kids show in applying themselves during the testing sessions. Walking into those testing rooms is a true testament to the desire kids have to meet another milestone on their way towards graduation. Thank you for sending them to us ready to test, and for imparting to them at home the importance of putting their best into those tests. Your kids are registering for next fall in their S2S class on Friday. And, they will have to be passing / on Green status to maintain their status as a full-time enrolled student next fall. If not, they will need to engage in a summer program. See a list of summer learning opportunities at www.edmonds.wednet.edu/summerlearning. There are many free or very affordable options for summer programming ? even if your student is on Green, having them engage in something during the summer can give them an advantage when they come back in the fall. We look forward to seeing you at our last round of SLPs on Friday the 27th and, as always, never hesitate to contact us if you have questions!
