News from LCHS
We are so excited for next week for our students to demonstrate their learning and growth by taking state assessments. We are committed to each student being on track for the future they chose and these tests help them monitor their progress towards their goals.
PSAT/SAT testing for 9th through 11th grade students, and PARCC testing for 7th and 8th grade students is Tuesday, April 10th. This day will be a half day of school for 7th through 11th grade students, with dismissal at 12:45. Seniors will not have high school classes that day. All of the details you and your students need to know for the 7th-12th grade HS April testing schedules can be found in the attached testing letters. Be sure to read these!

Board of Education Meeting Notes from March 13:
- The most important work of the meeting was dedicated to Lake County Intermediate School. We heard from Stephanie Gallegos, Emily Blau, and Amanda Good about the school’s work this year. We went through a practice exercise to learn how teachers prepare textually rich and engaging lessons for students—and we noticed that effective teaching is extremely complex. Kudos to all of our hardworking teachers.
- We approved an agreement with our regional BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services).
- We approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Urban Renewal Authority.
Next Meeting: April 10 at 7 PM at West Park Elementary School Library
