As parents, we may think “it will never happen to us” or “not my kid”, but the reality is drug use is prevalent around all social statuses and walks of life. Do you want to know what to look for or other “red flags” in a teen bedroom to look for that may signal drug or […]

State ACT testing this week.

February 18, 2019

Good morning, Parents.

This week Wednesday, February 20th, our juniors will be taking the State ACT test in the morning. Our other students will have school as normal on Wednesday, and after taking the ACT the juniors will have the afternoon off from school. We are guessing they will be pretty mentally drained since the ACT is a very demanding test that will require them to show some grit and push through some mental fatigue if they are to do their best. We expect the juniors to be done testing about 12:15 on Wednesday, so if your junior tells you they have off school on Wednesday afternoon, you can rest assured they are telling you the truth.

On Thursday this week, the juniors will be taking the State WorkKeys test, our freshmen and sophomores will be taking an ACT practice test, and the seniors will be completing an Academic Career Plan–Transition script. This script will guide the seniors in critical preparation steps as they transition from high school to the next phase of their lives. When the seniors have completed their script, they will present to one of our assigned staff members much like our other students do with student-led conferences, but in this case the conferences do not involve you as parents for logistic reasons. (Most of you are busy at work.) On Thursday, our juniors will be released after the WorkKeys test at about 11:15, so they will again have the afternoon off. Our seniors will be released after they have completed their student-led conference with a staff member somewhere around 10:30-11:00. The freshmen and sophomores will have lunch after the ACT test and then they will have their two afternoon classes as normal.

I attached the detailed schedule for Wednesday and Thursday in the email version of this message so you have all of the information as parents. The attachment also includes our end of the year exam opt out requirements which may be of interest for parents. We offer these opt out incentives to encourage students to really push themselves on the ACT, and we have found over the years that students really view exam opt outs at the end of the year as a very attractive incentive.

Have a great week,Scott

Academics

Choosing classes with a definite goal in mind will better prepare the student for the future. A high school program will need to reflect one’s abilities, interests, and goals. Course selection should fulfill graduation requirements as well as keep the student’s vocational focus and higher education entrance requirements in mind. Any program should be taken with value, meaning, and appeal to the student. All students are required to earn 27 credits and pass all required classes in order to graduate and receive a diploma from Oostburg High School. Note: Any course that has an * by its title is considered a college prep course and is weighted on a 5 point scale. For further information or assistance in selecting courses, please contact the OHS Counseling Department.

Project Lead the Way - Engineering

Whether a student is curious to understand more about engineering, has decided to pursue it as a career, or simply wants to learn to think critically, work collaboratively, and explore how math and science work in his or her everyday life, the PLTW Engineering program provides a track for success. Students engage in open-ended problem solving, learn and apply the engineering design process, and develop vital skills such as teamwork, communication, and critical thinking. While investigating topics such as aerodynamics and astronautics, biological engineering and sustainability, and digital electronics and circuit design, students use the same industry-leading technology and software as the world’s top companies.
