From the Principal's Desk - Ryan Allan

Dear East Middle School Families,

I hope this finds you well.

Last week was a hard week! Wow. Every student in the school experienced the dreaded KSA tests. I'm so proud of the effort they've given through these first assessments. We're rounding the corner with only four more tests to go.

By the time you read this, we'll only have 10 days of school remaining!

KSA Testing

We're more than halfway through testing. It has gone well so far.

Our sixth graders are done - Whew!
Our seventh graders will have Science on Monday.
Our eighth graders have Social Studies on Monday / Writing on Tuesday / and Writing again on Wednesday.

Please help us keep the students motivated! I know that is a BIG ASK. The realization that summer is so close is weighing on the building right now. Students all over the state are struggling through this, and I would put ours up against any of them. We just need them to realize it. Please stay vigilant with your encouragement and expectations (especially through testing) as we close out the school year.
