It will be winter holiday break before we know it. I wanted to update everyone the conversations that have taken place at school concerning exams. Middle school will not be following the exam schedule and will have a full regular school week. For English, there will not be an exam, but students will have a DGP quiz to complete without notes.
Per Mr. Dery:
The philosophy of the exam does not follow Middle School philosophy. Students need to understand that regular tests, quizzes, projects, presentations, etc will continue to be assessment methods used by teachers to measure their academic growth and understanding of what they are learning.
The last week of school in December will be a regular school week, full day of classes just like the rest of the school year for all middle school students. The only students who will be dismissed after exams will be our high school students.
*This includes Ms. Gilbert’s 7th grade class.
Seventh Grade
Students began studying oral traditions and folklore. The focus is on theme and traditions around the world. The students will be expected to complete a final unit project for this lesson.
Eighth Grade
Students are in the process of creating their own topical study. The requirements include a text about their topic, a final project, and written essay.
