Greetings Anthony Wayne Junior High Families,
Thank you for a great week! Spring is just around the corner and we are excited about all exciting events yet to come! We appreciate all of your support in keeping Anthony Wayne a wonderful school and community!
Ohio State Tests
It’s hard to believe, but state testing is just around the corner. We will hold our school-wide testing times during the first part of the school day (typically 8 am-10 am) on the following dates:
- April 15 & 17: ELA Ohio State Test
- April 22 & 24: Math Ohio State Test
- April 29 & May 1: Science Ohio State Test (8th Grade & Biology only)
We would appreciate your support in making sure your student is in attendance on these days. If possible, please avoid scheduling appointments on these days.
Attendance Reminder
Regular school attendance is key to your child’s academic success, social growth, and future opportunities. Consistent attendance ensures they don’t miss essential lessons, activities, or chances to build relationships and develop important life skills. Research shows that even a few absences can impact learning, so we encourage you to prioritize attendance whenever possible. Please communicate with us if your child must miss school. Thank you for your partnership in supporting your child’s education!
Dress Code Reminder
As temperatures are starting to slowly rise, we wanted to send out a reminder about student dress.
“Clothing that exposes undergarments, bare midriffs, or is otherwise revealing, is prohibited.”
Please remind your student to dress appropriately for school. If your student is not sure if their outfit meets the dress code, encourage them to find a different outfit. More information regarding our dress code is listed in our Student Handbook if you have further questions.
Homework Helpers
Homework Helpers returns next week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (2:45-3:30 pm) in the media center. As a reminder, students are only able to stay if they have a ride to pick them up at 3:30 pm.
Our final Homework Helpers will be held the second week of April, concluding Thursday 4/10/25.
Great Lakes Chess Club
