Good evening Eagle families. We will begin taking the WV GSA Writing Assessment tomorrow. We will continue testing through Friday of this week. Please stress the importance of this assessment with your student. Also, please make sure that their IPads are charged and with them. We only have a handful of extras. Important reminder that once the student starts the test, he or she may not stop in the middle. They must complete the assessment in one day. If your student has an appointment on their day of testing, please make sure that you send a note with them in the morning to give to Mrs. Wilson in the cafeteria so we can adjust their testing schedule. If you have any questions, feel free to call the school at 304-420-9525. Thanks and have a good evening!
