It's a busy season in Jaguar Country!
We have completed grade 6 and 7 summative testing. Our students did a fantastic job managing the tests, trying their best, and being flexible with a few technical issues. We are so proud of everyone!
Speaking of testing, AP exam time is ramping up, beginning on May 5 and running all the way to late testing on May 28. As a designated AP Platinum school, we are exceedingly proud of our students. At least 80% of our graduating students took at least one AP course, 50% or more scored at least a 3 on an AP exam, and 15% of graduating students took at least one AP course as freshmen or sophomores. This year, 209 exams are being taken across 20+ courses. Way to go, Jags! Your hard work and dedication to rigor are bound to pay off.
Finally, CHAMPS will kick off on May 19 with soccer, followed by softball and baseball on May 21, and track on May 22. We can’t wait for our teams to compete, have fun, and make memories.
DoDEA’s dress code is located here: Dress Code
With the warmer weather, we trust all of our Jaguars to make appropriate choices for attire that align with DoDEA expectations. Remember, footwear matters too—no slides or sandals without backs.
To highlight the library's forensic science, mystery, and true crime novels, Ms. Pike collaborated with teachers and created a crime scene for the students to solve. The crime scene included recorded statements from the suspects so that the students could take notes while listening to the recordings and ask the teachers for clarification. Additional information is included in a handout the students can read and analyze for relevant details to inform further questions for the suspects. Red herrings abound as the students try to sift through the details to discover the pertinent information to identify both the victim and the killer. Upon concluding their investigation, the students write a brief paragraph explaining their reasoning, feeling a sense of accomplishment and involvement in the learning process.
