Seventh Grade WATERSHED Program
Next year, Hyatts will be offering the WATERSHED Program to seventh grade students. WATERSHED is an alternative integrative curricular program. The curriculums for IELA, science and social studies will be taught in an integrated manner with a focus on local watershed ecology. The curriculum is based on the Olentangy seventh grade standards, and is consistent with all of seventh grade. The activities are centered on hands-on experiential learning that is student driven. WATERSHED students will spend time completing field studies at various locations on the watershed, have various guest experts and work in a cooperative classroom setting.
Important Dates:
March 12th (this Friday)– Applications for WATERSHED due

Dear parents:

Good afternoon! Next week is TerraNova testing time. TerraNova tests provide a standardized way to compare students to each other across the nation. Results are used for gifted identification, projections and to calculate growth and T-CAP results.

Monday: 6& 7 Reading and Language
Tuesday: 6 & 7 Math
Wednesday: 6&7 Science and Social Studies; 8 Social Studies
Thursday: InView (a test of cognitive skills)

We will follow an adjusted schedule. Please make sure students arrive to school on time as we begin testing at 8:00. We test for approximately 2 hours. We feel our students are well prepared to show their skills and knowledge and ask that you remind them to get a good night sleep and eat a healthy breakfast (as I am sure you do every day).

Enjoy the sun!
Kathy McFarland, Principal
