We have passed the 6 week mark of the first semester. We sent out 6 week reports to all families along with last year's WYTOPP reports on Tuesday. We are very proud of our WYTOPP results from last year. We are 11% higher than the state average in ELA and 14% higher than the state average in math. We appreciate all of the hard work our students, teachers, and families put in last year and we’re looking forward to doing even better this year.
When you receive your student's progress report and WYTOPP results, please review them together, celebrate, and identify any areas for improvement. Teachers and staff are available to assist students after school in Scout Learning Lab Monday-Thursday and a late bus is available on those days. We are all here to help your student be successful.

We are partnering with the University of Wyoming to study the benefits of physical exercise on academic performance and mood among middle and high school students with and without ADHD. Students’ participation in this study will help researchers understand the effects of exercise on cognitive functioning. If you and your student decide to participate, your student will be asked to attend three in-person sessions before school where they will exercise on a stationary bike. Then, students will complete some verbal and computer tasks. You will be asked to complete a short online survey at three time points during the study. We invite you and your student to participate. Please contact the study director, Meisa Khaireddin, under the supervision of Dr. Cynthia Hartung at uwyoall@gmail.com or call 307-316-4783 if you are interested. You can learn more about this study here.
