FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

TESTING 1,2,3.  It is that time of year again when we begin the wide-range of assessments for our students.  Beginning next Tuesday, our Junior Class will be taking the ACT Test.  This is a standardized test used for college admissions. It covers four academic areas, English, Math, Science Reasoning and Reading. The State underwrites the cost for our students across Ohio to take the assessment and next Tuesday is the National Test Date.  For students to perform at their very best, please make sure they get plenty of sleep, eat a good breakfast and are free from stress (if possible).  Please make sure your child knows where the testing location is by checking their e-mail.  I suggest they bring a snack and water along with their school identification or driver's license.  Dress in layers just in case the testing room is either too hot or too cold.   Don't forget your graphing calculator and two #2 pencils.  Remember to leave cell phones and smart watches turned off and in your backpacks.  Be confident and positive and know I believe in all of you!
 
We have been working to prepare your child for all assessments this Spring.  This time of year increases stress to everyone involved.  The "high stakes" graduation tests as well as the ACT college admission test put great pressure on our young people.  We will do everything we can to prepare them so they are confident in their abilities and support them with a quiet testing environment with teachers and counselors to support and encourage them to do their best.  We are so fortunate to see great academic growth at Hayes over the past few years, it takes all of us working together to provide the very best for your children to support them into the future.  We could not do it without you!

              State Testing

Students will begin taking the Ohio State Tests (OSTs) on Wednesday, April 8th and testing will end Tuesday April 28th.  There are six state tests students must take throughout the high school.  These tests are required for graduation.  A schedule for which days each test will be administered is below:

*  ELA 2: April 8th & 9th
*  Algebra 1: April 13th and 14th
*  US History:  April 15th and 16th
*  Biology:  April 20th and 21st
*  Government:  April 22nd and 23rd
*  Geometry:  April 27th and 28th

Each test is comprised of two parts.  Students will take part one on the first day of testing and part two on the second day.  Students will also be broken into morning and afternoon groups.  Students testing in the morning on day one will test in the afternoon on day two and vice versa in order to avoid missing the same classes on consecutive days.  Questions about the OSTs can be directed to your student's school counselor.
