Mid-Terms will be administered to students in grades 1-8 during the week of January 19th as per the Superintendent of Schools calendar.The material on the mid-terms will cover the important terminology and concepts that students have learned since September,2015. An outline of the important terms, concepts, facts that may be covered on the exams will be posted on the school blog by the teachers on Monday, January 11th.
Teachers will review the material to be covered on the exams with the students after they have posted the material on the blog. Material will be based on the CCSS modules that we have been following this year from Engage New York.
