Good afternoon Panther Nation!!! During the weeks of April 15th-19th and April 23rd & 24th your child will be taking either the a NSCAS, MAPS or ACT tests. These test scores help us as a district to check student performance by measuring academic achievement and growth. These results are then used to drive instructional decisions with the goal of impacting student learning! Additionally, the test reports also provide typical growth data for students who are in the same grade, subject and have the same starting performance level. We have challenged the ENTIRE student body to bring the best version of themselves not only to test, but during the entire month of April. We are challenging students to take pride in their attendance, grades, behavior, and effort during the month of April! For the grade level that rises to the occasion for this "MOJO Challenge", we have a special reward for the students on the last day of school! Thank you for your support and encouragement at home and we look forward to seeing our students perform well this month! Go Panthers!! Mr. Cudney

Panther JH/HS Activities Week of 4.8.24 to 4.13.24 “My father knew that many people become paralyzed by the fear of failure. They're afraid of what others will think if they don't do a great job and, as a result, take no risks. My father wanted us to try everything and feel free to push the envelope. His attitude taught me to define failure as not trying something I want to do instead of not achieving the right outcome." Sara Blakely L-E-T-S-G-O-P-A-N-T-H-E-R-S #PANTHERMOJO
