FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

As we turn our calendars from February to March, we anticipate two things. The days get longer and warmer and testing season begins for our high schoolers. While it may seem that the first change is the brighter spot, the later can also be a source of warmth. This year, our 11^th graders will be taking the SAT Test on Wednesday March 2^nd. For those of you that may be unfamiliar with this assessment, here are some facts.

The SAT is an entrance exam used by most colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. The SAT is a multiple-choice, pencil-and-paper test created and administered by the College Board.

The purpose of the SAT is to measure a high school student's readiness for college, and provide colleges with one common data point that can be used to compare all applicants. College admissions officers will review standardized test scores alongside your high school GPA, the classes you took in high school, letters of recommendation from teachers or mentors, extracurricular activities, admissions interviews, and personal essays. How important SAT scores are in the college application process varies from school to school. Overall, the higher you score on the SAT and/or ACT, the more options for attending and paying for college will be available to you.

In order to provide a quiet testing space for our Juniors and to allow all staff members to help us monitor the testing site, we are providing remote learning to all other students (9^th, 10^th and 12^th graders). Only Juniors will be in the building on Wednesday. Our teachers will be providing assignments for students to work on at home and they will be available to help students remotely in the afternoon after the test has ended.

Transportation for Juniors only will be provided at the regular morning times. Buses will take them home around 11:30am to their closest elementary school. Lunch will be provided by our wonderful food service staff. There will be bus service available for students requiring extended time on the tests at 2:30pm.

I want to thank you in advance for your help and support of our students taking this important assessment on March 2^nd. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 740.833.1010.

STUDENT SURVEYS

Delaware City Schools values input from all community stakeholders including our students, as we work to improve our communication, academic programs and the overall experience for everyone. Our commitment to supporting the social and emotional health of our students is paramount in our strategic plan and the work our staff has done over the past couple of years.

In order to learn more about student experiences at school, we will be asking our students in grades 3-12 to provide feedback via an online survey twice each school year. The survey will cover topics including sense of belonging, learning strategies, emotion regulation, and self-efficacy. Given the current learning environments and challenges facing our students, this feedback will provide valuable insights into their experiences and how we can improve and adapt to meet their needs. We are partnering with a third-party vendor (Panorama) to support us in administering these surveys and all responses will be confidential.

The survey questions can be accessed here.

If you have any questions or concerns about this survey, please feel free to reach out to your child's school counselor or the school office.
