At the January 21st Board Meeting, Alex Williams, Grace Galek, Kaitlyn Amari, Matthew Kollar, and Timmy Sagan, with a little help from Mr. Suchocki, performed a short reader’s theater focused on the different ways we are learning to read in Kindergarten. They recited  the nursery rhymes Humpty Dumpty, Hey Diddle Diddle, and Georgie Porgie. They shared jokes and even read a story called The Mitten, a Ukranian folktale retold by Katalina Page.

Taking the PSAT is typically one of the best ways to prepare for the SAT college entrance exam. Taking the PSAT may also be beneficial to younger students who want to get a head start on improving academic skills needed for college success and beyond.  The PSAT/NMSQT was offered to all high school students on October 15, 2014 and forty-seven students participated in this test. Freshmen, sophomore, and junior students who took the test had their results explained to them this week.

Here's how they can make the most of their scores:

• Encourage your students to sign in to My College QuickStart™ with the access code provided on their score reports. With this free online tool, students can get an interactive score report and a personalized SAT® study plan.
   
• Explore college majors and careers that are suggested utilizing the score results and learn about the colleges and universities that provide those majors.
   
• Read explanations to better understand why they scored the way they did; as well as access a free SAT practice test.

In addition, the CHS Guidance webpage provides the 2014-2015 guides to Ohio’s Public and Private Colleges and Universities. These links, as well as additional information, assist students in discovering which college may be the right one for them!

The report card your child brings home should give you a good idea of how your son or daughter is doing in school.  The Ohio Department of Education released the new Ohio School Report Card last week.  The Cuyahoga Heights Schools ranked 58^th in the State out of 881 public school districts, charter schools, and academies.  We are in the top 7% of all school districts in Ohio. Congratulations to our high performing students and our excellent teaching and support staff.  Throughout the 2014-15 school year, we will continue to provide you with further information on the school district evaluation system so you will have a better understanding of what it means.   View the results of our school district HERE.
