Writing in Advising this week.

Hi Parents,

Coming up this week during advising, all high school students will be taking the statewide writing assessment. It is a pencil and paper essay in response to one of a series of prompts. All students are required to do it. We will use Monday for prep and practice, and Tuesday-Thursday for writing, revising, and editing.

Please remind your student that this is coming up. It is important that each student take part. The writing sample is an excellent opportunity to focus on creating concise, structured writing to use as part of a student's portfolio.

Best,

Ken
