Dear Parents,
With the start of the second semester, the middle school is preparing our students for the Ohio Achievement Assessments. These state-mandated tests are given in all grades in the areas of reading and math. In addition, the 8th grade students take a science OAA. Students and teachers are hard at work preparing for these assessments.
What you can do at home
There are many great resources for preparing students for the OAA’s. One great resource is the Ohio Department of Education’s state assessment website. The link for this site is: http://ohio3-8.success-ode-state-oh-us.info/. In addition, parents can help their students by studying vocabulary and math problems with them. Please contact your child’s teachers for help with resources.
