This 7th grade testing information was given to students today. Please review testing expectations with your student & remember they are virtual on April 10 for 8-11th PSAT/SAT.
Just a reminder that if your son or daughter is in the 7th or 12th grade, they will not be attending school in person on Wednesday, April 10 due to state-wide testing for the other grades. Students will need to complete the online virtual assignment, or the paper pencil assignment provided by the teacher to be considered present that day.
Thank you
Jim Thompson
Ithaca Jr./Sr. High School Principal
