Parents

We try very hard to get your child home safely every day. Your children should know how they are getting home before the day starts. If it is different than the way that he or she usually does please send a note. Please do not call the school at 2:15 or later and say put my child on a different bus. It's scary for your child and we run the risk of not getting your children where they need to be.

Talent Show

This years Talent Show was a huge success!

With over 60 acts ranging from Singers to Mimes the applause never stop and the show kept going.

The audience was impressed by the number of students who played musical instruments and the vocal ability of our students.

We laughed and cried all taking home memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

In a word,Wow!

With standing room only, it was truly a wonderful event.

A big thank you to Misti Smith for all her hardwork!

Thank you as well to the many volunteers who helped to make the evening successful.

Understanding the Westest, date and time to be announced.

Westest

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This years test will be held from May 16th - 20th

The Westest is an assessment of West Virginia Students. Kellogg 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders participate in the Westest each school year. This custom-designed test measures student performance by West Virginia academic standards rather than a comparison to the performance of a national sample population of students.

Westest questions have been developed and aligned to the West Virginia 21st Century CSOs. The assessment results provide information about a student’s academic strengths, as well as areas that need improvement by measuring a student’s levels of performance on clearly defined standards and objectives and skills. Results of the tests will be used by educators to improve student learning and performance. Parents/guardians will also receive a student report that indicates levels of performance in each of the content areas.

The West Virginia Department of Education has provided instructional benchmarks designed to assess student progress over the course of the school year.  These instructional benchmarks are available on the Acuity Platform and the Writing RoadMap 2 Websites.

Please help your child do his or her best at school. One way you can help is to use the following vocabulary with your child.  It’s never too early to start preparing them for what they need to know.

The following items will be on the WESTEST.

Terms

Arrange, Calculate, Define, Draw, Identify, List, Label, Illustrate, Measure, Report, Quote, Match, Recognize, Tabulate, Use, Name, Memorize, State, Tell, Recall, Recite, Repeat

Skills
