Interim

This is how we take a math test in the FX!
It's hard to believe that we are half way through the first quarter of the 2011-2012 school year.  Your son or daughter will be bringing home their midterm report today.  Please take a few minutes to review the report with them. We believe that parent–teacher conferences are an important component of ongoing home–school communication and family involvement in children's education. Our first conference night is scheduled for October 13, 2011, 3:20 to 7:30.  Please call 513-867-7425 extension 2128 to schedule a conference.


This week during our professional development time we examined the results of the 2010-2011 8th grade Ohio Achievement Test.  We are very proud to share with you that we were above the state standards in reading, math and science. 


This week in Mrs. Dreger's Social Studies classes students have been completing their "Enlightenment Projects."  I have asked Kayla Toon, a ninth grade student, to explain the project.  


"For the Enlightenment project we made the choice of an activity from the list Mrs. Dreger gave us, I created a game and a crossword. Then we had to base the project around the Enlightenment Period, or the period in which many ideas came along and caused people to have different opinions."

My amazing students this week are Tristen and Taylor Chenoweth.  The amazing thing about these twins is not that they are  both exceptional students, they are, but they are friends.  It has been so much fun to get to know them and watch how they relate to each other.  They truly have a great time together. Taylor tells me the best thing about going to school with her brother is that she knows she always has someone there to back her up.  Tristen tells me that he enjoys watching his sister grow up and become smarter! How great would it be to be a twin?
