We will take portions of the WYTOPP test on Tuesday and Wednesday this week and next week on Tuesday, April 28th. All students will complete the reading test tomorrow. On Wednesday, 7th graders will take the writing test and 8th graders will take the science test. Sixth graders will not test on Wednesday. On the 28th, all students will take the math test. Please use this link to review the schedule for testing.
State tests like WYTOPP are very important to schools. They tell us how we are doing instructionally and help us measure students’ progress. While they are very important, test results are only one data point. Grades, attendance, behavior data, class assessments, and teacher observations are also ways we measure growth and progress. All we ask is that students give their absolute best effort. How they score on the test is not as important as how hard they try and who they are. Please encourage your student to get a good night’s sleep, charge their Chromebook, and come to school ready to do their best. If everyone does these things, WYTOPP will take care of itself.
The 41st Annual Hapi-ness 5K is Saturday, May 9th at 8:00 am. The Hapi-ness was started to honor Hapi Patterson, a Laramie Junior High student who was fighting cancer. Each year the proceeds from the Hapi-ness are used to support families in need. This year’s race will support Brody Bowlds, an 8th grade student who is battling acute myeloid leukemia. Please watch this video to learn more about this year’s race and use this link to sign up. You can run, jog, or walk the 5K, just be there. We are hoping to set a new fundraising record in support of Brody and others in need in our community and we need your support to make that happen. Please sign up by Friday in order to get a t-shirt on race day.
It’s going to be a great week of dominating the WYTOPP and working hard. Thank you for supporting our school and your student. You are appreciated.
