Parents, we will be preparing for our next NC Check in benchmark for next week. 6th grade, 7th grade, and Math 1 students will be testing next Tuesday. 8th grade will test in December. We will need all students testing next week to bring their laptops and chargers to school on Wednesday. Teachers will keep them at school until testing is complete next week to ensure all equipment is ready for testing.
