ISTEP+ Rescores - Check scores today!

Attention all parents, just a reminder to check your students ISTEP+ scores online today. ( You only have 5 days to do this.) If they are close to passing or pass plus, submit a rescore.) They have worked terribly hard for that score! Thank you.

ISTEP+ Score Forms going Home November 5th!!

ISTEP+ SCORES!! On Thursday, November 5th, your child will receive a letter from the Indiana Department of Education explaining how to log in to view preliminary ISTEP+ scores. The letter includes an “invitation code” specific to your child. You may use this invitation code beginning November 9, 2015 to review your child’s Spring 2015 ISTEP+ results. The website is https://indiana.ctb.com. If you feel there is a need for a re-score of one or more items, the instructions for the request are located on the Indiana Parent Network. If your child is within 5 points of the pass cut score or 5 points within the pass plus cut score, we recommend you ask for a re-score. If you need assistance with reviewing ISTEP+ results or completing the re-score process, please contact Jewelee Kranning or Abbie Redmon at 812-897-1420.

6th Grade Graduation Plan

Attention Parents - 6th Grade Graduation Plans will be going home soon. Please read the information below. Planning for Graduation Begins in Grade 6 It is never too early to plan for the future! Indiana code requires that students develop an initial graduation plan during their sixth grade year. This plan includes a statement of intent to graduate from high school as well as an acknowledgement of the importance of good citizenship, school attendance and diligent study habits. Awareness and commitment toward meeting graduation requirements are first steps in setting strong goals for the future. We encourage parents to review graduation promises and Core 40 requirements with their children! Please see the components of the “graduation promise” as well as a link to Core 40 graduation requirements below. Graduation Promise I understand that education is key to my future and therefore commit to graduate from high school. I will also take the time to plan and prepare for life after high school by: *being a responsible citizen and making good decisions; *going to school and actively participating in my learning; *studying hard and turning in my homework; *pushing myself to complete Core 40 and considering going beyond it to complete an advanced *diploma like Core 40 with Academic Honors or Core 40 with Technical Honors; *exploring different careers and learning how college includes lots of options: two and four-year degrees, certificates, apprenticeship programs, and the military; and *asking for help when I need it. Core 40 & Core 40 with Academic or Technical Honors information can be found at the link listed below. It’s never too early to set goals for the future! http://www.doe.in.gov/achievement/curriculum/indianas-diploma-requirements
