April is showering us with news and tests. Many tests will be completed by the end of this month with Science OSTs taking place today and Thursday. Also, today officially marks less than 30 days left of school for everyone but seniors. Seniors have 19 days remaining. Since the end of the year is right around the corner, keep up with grades and complete all assignments. No regrets heading into the Summer.
Speaking of OSTs, with ELA, History, and Government in the books, there are still more to go. Taking time to review and getting an adequate night of sleep will prove crucial to high scoring. Below are the remaining dates for state testing.
- Biology: April 21
- Science 8: April 23
- Algebra I: April 28 & 30
- Math 8: April 28 & 30
- Geometry: April 29
Moving along, the group under the spotlight this week is the Yearbook class/club. The students in Yearbook go around taking pictures at different Brooklyn events. This varies from sports to other school and community events. Simply, this class is responsible for putting the yearbook together. If you ordered a yearbook from last year, make sure to see Mrs. Bader to get your copy.
This serves as a reminder that Prom money and guest passes are due to Mrs. Holko this Friday, April 24. Prom will take place at Windows on the River on Friday, May 22. Be responsible and anticipate this wonderful event.
Seniors, your local scholarship applications are also due this Friday to Mr. Ross. You can’t win scholarship money if you don’t apply, so get those applications in sooner than later.
Finally, as the cold weather is hopefully behind us, get out and support our Spring sports teams. They would love to see you out in full force.
Here is what is coming up for late April and May.
- April 24: Prom Money & Guest Passes
