Gifted Jaguars and Eagles

I love learning! Today I went to a great training at Ridgeview about Visual Thinking Strategies. I think this will be a really engaging technique to use with my AP History class and my Nobel advisory. I really appreciate how my dept shares new ways of teaching with each other!

We learned recently that covid contact tracings have identified several of our students who need to be put on quarantine. Because of this, these students will be missing this Saturday’s PreACT testing. We do have a virtual back up plan. If your child is feeling sick or suspects contact with someone who is positive for Covid, please do not send them for the testing this Saturday. Contact us for an alternative testing plan. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Ms Brown (kbrown@isd271.org) is our AP Coordinator. If you have follow up questions be sure to email her. You can CC me so I can learn the answer too. DA STEM students will take their tests through KHS even though you take your class at JHS. The plan for testing is: AP Human Geography (May 4th) - in person AP Computer Science (May 17th) - in person AP Environmental Science (May 27th) - in person or at home if you are DL AP Comparative Politics (May 28th) - in person or at home if you are DL If you are a DL and don’t want to come into school on May 4th or May 17th then you need to communicate with Mr. Lang. The digital exam for AP Human Geography will be on June 8th and the digital exam for AP Computer Science will be on Wednesday May 26th. If you are absent or unable to take an exam during our scheduled time, you can sign up to test in the next testing window. You will need to let Ms. Brown know as soon as possible if this happens. She can only sign you up for the next
