  1. Hello, Sand Creek Scorpions. We have missed you so much.
  2. We haven't seen you in about 2.5 weeks. And for me, that is way too long.
  3. I have missed seeing all of your wonderful bright faces
  4. and I cannot wait to see you tomorrow. 730 we're back at it. We're back in the routine.
  5. We only have two months of school left and so I wanted to make sure or that
  6. because we had a little bit of an early start to spring break,
  7. um that we get back together on the same page,
  8. communicate with one another so that we launch right into the
  9. month of April and then finish the school year in May.
  10. Very strong
  11. students. As you come tomorrow,
  12. we are going to be ready to go for you. Our teachers spent all day today may
  13. sure that they were prepared for you
  14. so that we can get started and be ready to go all together tomorrow.
  15. We want you to come here on time.
  16. We cannot wait to see you. As I said before, this month will be important for us.
  17. So it's important that you're here and that we're here.
  18. All together so that we can support you through the process.
  19. We have testing coming up, April 17th, 18th and 19th,
  20. if you weren't aware.
  21. And this is most especially for ninth graders, we are going to be having
  22. class meetings for testing
  23. so that you know,
  24. all of the information and bits and pieces that
  25. you need to know in order to be successful.
  26. Testing in high school is a little bit different
  27. because we are primarily working on the PSAT and SAT
  28. students.
  29. It's important that you have the confidence to
  30. tackle anything that is in front of you.
  31. I told some of our students last year, it is a piece of paper or now it's on a computer.
  32. It has no thoughts, it has no control or power over you.
  33. It is just something where you're able to come in
  34. and show what you know,
  35. because
  36. we're part of the uh college board suite of
  37. assessments which are the PSAT and SAT.
  38. There are opportunities that if you fill out
  39. the questionnaire that you can earn scholarship dollars.
  40. In addition,
  41. it is one of the tests that will help prove mastery for state requirements.
  42. And our district is also working on
  43. providing opportunities for students to earn credit
  44. for certain cut points. So if you earn say 1000
  45. on your SAT as your composite score,
  46. then you can earn credit for that
  47. because you're demonstrating mastery in multiple ways.
  48. We're also looking for that for the C Mass for Science.
  49. If you watched my quarterly step back video that we shared earlier
  50. in March last month, then you will find out that our juniors uh,
  51. met state expectations for proficiency in science.
  52. And that is a really, really big deal.
  53. There are students who are seniors this year were the ones who did that.
  54. They were juniors last year.
  55. We're so proud of you seniors in so many ways and that's just one of them.
  56. So, as you get prepared for tomorrow, please do your best,
  57. make sure that you get a good night's sleep tonight.
  58. Make sure you eat well this evening as well as tomorrow morning
  59. and I cannot wait to see you tomorrow and welcome you back to school.
  60. We'll see you soon.
