NEWS/NOTES
I hope everyone is doing as well as can be, given our current state of affairs. I wanted to update this page when pertinent information became available and I find it necessary to do so in order to clarify some things and to push information to the community.
- As linked below, for the time being, the district is utilizing educational resources for enrichment purposes while we are in our closure. A few reminders about these recourses being for enrichment purposes.
- While it is true that at this time in our learning progression it is not designed for credit, the learning is designed to keep students mentally and physically engaged and support their learning development. This is a great opportunity to showcase your "Marauder Pride" and show the difference between "you have to" and "you should."
- Question: Do we grade learning activities to this point? Answer: No
- Question: Do these learning activities count? Are they optional? Answer: As a student and parent you can make them count...learning is only optional if you make it that way.
- Question: Should I be doing some sort of learning while on school is closed? Answer: Absolutely! These activities will support your learning development and social-emotional well being if you take advantage of them.
- Grades/ Grading Note: At this time, please continue to have patience about what 3rd quarter progress looks like and what semester 2 grades will look like.
- Please visit teacher websites/Schoology sites for specific lessons and activities.
- At this time, all spring sports have been suspended until further notice. No participation should be facilitated by any school official or on any Warren Consolidated Schools property.

- There will be a couple of options for dates for each test
- Those testing dates will come out on April 3
- Beginning 3/25 live review courses will be available

- Click on AP Course Schedule for class specific daily review times
- The tests will be based on material that most schools covered by early March (The AP Updates link above has more course-specific testing information)
- Colleges support this solution and are committed to ensuring that AP students receive the credit
- Students can cancel free of charge
- If you have further questions, please contact your AP teacher directly or Mrs. Pritula (AP Coordinator) at jpritula@wcskids.net
STATE TESTING: The United States Department of Education announced on Friday, March 20, that they are waiving federal requirements for standardized state testing for students in grades Kindergarten through 12th. More specifically in the statement, the U.S. Department of Education declared that states should request waivers that allow additional flexibility, including potential elimination of federally-mandated standardized tests this school year. Michigan has sent in this waiver and it's been accepted by the US Department of Education.
