Today, students will be bringing their report cards home. Next week, our students will be taking the winter benchmark assessments. The benchmarks are an important part of how we monitor student progress and use data to guide instruction throughout the school year. The benchmarks are modeled after the West Virginia General Summative Assessment (WVGSA) and help teachers identify strengths, address areas of need, and better support each student's learning. Please encourage your student to get plenty of rest the night before, get to school on time, and do their best on the test.
