KAP Testing – Students will be taking the annual KAP test over Language Arts, Math, and Science soon. This is an important test used to measure your child’s growth each year. In an effort to have students take the test seriously and do their best, the middle school team is offering extra credit to students who improve their scores from last year.

Chromebooks – Make sure your student is charging their laptops every night. Students are unable to charge their Chromebooks while at school, so it is important they are charging them while at home. We have noticed an increase in 7th grade Chromebooks coming to school insufficiently charged. Therefore, we have updated our Chromebook policy. If students come in and their laptop is not charged, they will miss recess, if this continues, the third time they come in without their laptop charged, they will have a silent lunch. If there is a problem with your students laptop, they need to email the technology department or notify their classroom teacher, so that we can get the issue resolved.
Candy Policy – Please make sure that your student is not bringing any candy for lunch or a snack.
Religion – Make sure your student is bringing their Bibles and Luther’s Small Catechism to school.
Tests/Quizzes – Make sure your student is holding onto their tests and quizzes for each class, they are good study tools for the finals in May.
