Winter End of Course Assessments

Let's talk about End of Course tests for a moment.  And no, I am not talking about your semester exams that count for grades in your actual classes.  The End of Course tests are those assessments required by the state of Ohio that all students must complete.  The tests are also how you will earn the various components that you need to graduate.

The winter testing window for the End of Course tests begins tomorrow and testing will continue through December 11th.  You will be taking these tests if you are currently in Government, if you took a tested class during the summer, if you took a tested class last school year but due to illness or other reasons you weren't able to complete the tests when the state testing window was open, if you need to try to improve your scores, or if you moved in from out of state and need to take the assessments.

All students are strongly encouraged to check your school email to look for information about End of Course tests.  If you need to complete a test then you will have received an email giving you information about what date you will complete your test and which room to go to for testing.

I know it is really hard to miss class time for the testing (especially when you have so few days of classes left in the semester), but remember, since these tests play a critical role in you earning the graduation requirements, you want and need to try to do your best on the tests when taking them.
