A Message from Dr. Larry Haynes
Dear OMMS Parents and Guardians:
I hope everything is going well on the home front for our students and families. The OMMS teachers and staff are working together with our students to make sure we have a strong and positive finish to the school year.
As we transition towards the middle of April, I want to send this reminder that we will be administering ACAP testing to all students on the following days:
Tuesday, April 12 – English Language Arts (All grades)
Wednesday, April 13 – English Language Arts (All grades)
Thursday, April 14 – English Language Arts (All grades)
Monday, April 18 – Science (6th and 8th grades only)
Tuesday, April 19 – Science (6th and 8th grades only)
Tuesday, April 26 – Mathematics (All grades)
Wednesday, April 27 – Mathematics (All grades)
Since the results of these tests will provide insight on student mastery in addition to areas in need of growth for each subject tested, it is important that we provide as many supports as possible. Here are some research tested methods to help students on testing days:
· Get a good night of rest and sleep.
· Eat a good breakfast that includes protein. (The OMMS cafeteria will be serving high protein items such as sausage biscuits, bacon, egg, and cheese croissants, etc. on testing days. The cafeteria will also try to have grape juice available on testing days.)
· At the school level, we will test in the mornings, and observe a bell schedule that allows students an opportunity to have time with each teacher.
· Since testing cannot be interrupted, students will not be able to check in or check out prior to 10:00 a.m. on testing days.
· There will be no homework assignments or major class assessments until testing is completed.
· Since Chromebooks are being utilized for testing, in addition to students having no outside assignments, all Chromebooks will remain at school until testing is over.
Thank you in advance for helping this year’s state test go as smoothly as possible.
Sincerely,
Larry Haynes, Principal
