From Musical Theatre International:
"Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney's Descendants: The Musical is a brand-new musical jam-packed with comedy, adventure, Disney characters, and hit songs from the films!
Imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost – home of the most infamous villains who ever lived – the teenaged children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil have never ventured off the island… until now. When the four troublemakers are sent to attend prep school alongside the children of beloved Disney heroes, they have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?"
 

ACT Test - April 7th



ACT Test - April 7th
On Tuesday, April 7th, the ACT will be offered to all high school juniors. All students who are juniors will report to the school building by 7:20 am to take the ACT state assessment. Buses will run at regular times before and after the ACT session.

Also on Tuesday, April 7th, East, Central, and South High Schools will have a Remote Learning Day for freshmen, sophomores, and seniors. Only juniors will report to school that day. and none of the other students will report to the building. Further instructions for virtual day expectations for 9th, 10th, and 12th grade students will be sent by the high schools.

Calculators: The test will be offered online this year so all students can use the calculator embedded in the test software. If a student would prefer to use a physical calculator, they need to bring their own and make sure it complies with ACT requirements.
*Math teachers will also be available to check calculators out on the day of testing. Make sure to arrive early because we will be checking out calculators on a first come, first served basis. We do not have enough calculators for everyone.

Will you also make sure that you tell students they need to complete the following tasks:
  1. Go to Moysle Student (apps) on your school iPad and download TestNav
  2. The night before testing, complete a hard reset on their iPad by holding the power button and top left volume button at the same time and then powering off for 30 seconds.
Make sure iPads are fully charged the night before testing.
 

WY-TOPP Matters!

Starting April 14th to May 8th, all 9th and 10th graders will begin WY-TOPP testing. These tests allow students to showcase what they have learned and to represent themselves and East High School in a positive way. Test scores are also used to determine learning interventions. In the coming weeks, teachers will work with students to set growth goals and to offer strategies. Students that meet their growth goal will attend a celebration in May.
