ITED testing Monday, 31 March & Tuesday, 1 April 2014 – mornings. Each year, our freshmen, sophomores, and juniors take the Iowa Tests of Educational Development during the late spring. These tests are used for diagnostic evaluation of our program, internally only. We do not report out these scores nor do they get sent to universities or to the federal government. We only use them to understand our students and programs better. Families receive a score report with final report cards in June. We test on the mornings of 31 March and 1 April this year. Please minimize disruption to the program by limiting absences.

Seniors will be taking practice AP tests on those mornings – seniors do not take the ITED. If they are not taking practice AP tests, they are not required to be on campus until after lunch, when we will start afternoon classes.

Fish fry thanks! – Many thanks to all of the parents that worked the fish fry on Friday – we sold all of our fish! Special thanks to John and Susie Torrez for their hard work and leadership!
