Testing on the Horizon

Coming Soon...to a classroom near you... the 2010 California Standardized Testing!

That's right, the CST's are back!

On Tuesday, May 4 the students of HHS will begin a week of testing. This annual event is especially important this year as we look to make up the ground we lost on our API last year and show strong gains in student performance.

Students need to make a special effort to be at school every day for testing, as there is a very tight window for the testing and makeups.

So plan ahead... schedule any appointments for late in the day or postpone them until after testing!

Just a bit rattled...

I'm hoping that this post finds all safe and sound after all the excitement of the last week. While HMS did sustain some damage to a few classrooms, HHS was able to come through the Easter Sunday earthquake largely unscathed.

All schools in Holtville will be in session on Monday, April 12th, with some of the HMS students being shuffled to new classrooms.

For all of you parents out there, please know that we are committed to ensuring the safety of your children and have ample resources and planning in place in the event of any future earthquakes or other emergencies.
