FYI:

* Indicates "new" announcements for the day

*Attention East Woods Youth-to-Youth Mentors for Mrs. Vanderski's 5th grade class. Your after school program for today has been canceled!

Today is Ready, Set, Relax sponsored by Hudson Community First.  Remember...it is a night to relax and spend time with your family. No homework, no sports practices after 5:00 p.m., and no scheduled activities.

Attention All Students:  Next week begins the Ohio Graduation Tests for all sophomores and those upper classmen who still need to pass some sections of the tests. Testing begins each day promptly at 7:30 a.m. until 10:00 a.m.  Students should report to their assigned testing room, which was given to you in your 10th grade English class.   If you don't know your assigned room, the list is  on the windows outside of the main office or you can stop by the Guidance Office.   Please make sure to get enough sleep next week so you are here on time each day.  If you are absent any day next week due to illness, you will need to make up the test for that day the following week. Be sure to see Mrs. Melling in guidance if you are absent any day next week.  

Also for Sophomores, PTO will be serving a breakfast snack on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of your OGT testing week.  Be sure to stop by our table upstairs between 7:00 - 7:25 to receive your snack. 

For 9th, 11th and 12th graders, we are on a delayed start schedule. You should report to school by 10:05 a.m. each day. You will not be allowed on the 2nd floor so plan on remaining in the commons until 10:05 a.m.  Buses will run at the regularly scheduled times and will deliver students by 7:30 a.m.   If you take the bus you will remain in the commons until 10:00 a.m.   Classes will meet every day next week and  we will not be on a block schedule.  If you have any questions about the OGT's,  stop by the guidance office.

OGT (Ohio Graduation Tests) will be administered to Sophomores during the week of March 15 through the 19.  We will be on a delayed start for others students.  The Daily Schedule for the week is as follows:  OGT Test Week 2010  

If you would like to be a HUDDLE mentor for 4th and 6th grade students next Fall, you must apply now. Applications will only be accepted until March 12.  There will NOT be an application process next Fall.
