Spring NWEA Testing: We will have our 3^rd and final round of NWEA testing on Wednesday, May 18^th (grades 7-12) and Thursday, May 19^th (grades 7-8). We use this data to gauge student learning and progress for the year as well as their current academic level. This is one data point that factors into a student’s full academic portfolio. Please ensure that your child is ready to put their best foot forward on these days! Attendance is also extremely important. If your child is not in attendance, we will need to pull them from class at a different time to take the assessments.

9-12 Cornerstones!: We are planning a fun afternoon for our 9-12^th graders on Wednesday, May 18^th after testing. You will be getting more information about the plans and activities for this Cornerstone event as we get closer to the date! Grades 7-8 will have their Cornerstone Day on June 9^th.

The ceremony will be held on June 9^th from 6:30-7:30pm in the LCHS auditorium. Please keep in mind that grades will not be finalized at this time. The celebration ceremony does not signify promotion.

Finals Week: Finals for students grades 7-11 will take place the week of June 13^th. Finals are an important aspect of our academic program. They establish and maintain high expectations for student learning and performance. Finals are also one way students demonstrate their learning for the year and readiness for the next grade level. Please ensure you do not make plans this week. Students must be in attendance. We will only excuse absences for unique circumstances, and it will need to be approved by an administrator. We will not excuse finals themselves. If students miss finals for unexcused reasons, they will be given zero credit. If students miss for excused reasons, they must go in at an alternative time to make them up. Thank you for helping us maintain a high academic standard.
