Greetings Anthony Wayne Junior High Families,
Welcome to the 4th quarter! We hope everyone enjoyed their spring break. Our third quarter grades will be finalized by the beginning of next week. As a reminder, 3rd quarter grades determine 4th quarter athletic eligibility for Track & Field.
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 8:00 -10:00 a.m.) 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.

Anthony Wayne Junior High and the Purple Star Generals are looking forward to celebrating our Military Families with a Spirit Week (4/14-4/18)! We hope you join us for this spirit week! - Monday, April 14: Red, White, and Blue Day

Day of Awesomeness
On Tuesday, May 13th we will host our Day of Awesomeness. This day is supported by the fundraiser we participated in earlier this spring. All students will have the opportunity to participate in the Day of Awesomeness events. We will need volunteers to help support this event.
Incentive Day
Incentive Day is coming! Each year at the end of the school year, the Junior High holds an Incentive Day. All students participate in the incentive day. Students have the opportunity to earn additional incentives during that day if they:
- Reach their individualized projection score on the ELA Ohio State Test (OST)
- Reach their individualized projection score on the Math Ohio State Test (OST)
- Reach their individualized projection score on the Science Ohio State Test (OST)
- Have zero missing assignments for the 4th quarter
- Have zero unexcused absences for the 4th quarter
For each item they meet, students receive an additional incentive that day. Even if your student does not meet any of these thresholds, there will be still activities they can participate in that day. Students may be disqualified from incentive day if they receive an In-School Assignment or Out-of-School Suspension during the fourth quarter.
Homework Helpers - FINAL WEEK
Our final Homework Helpers session is next week on Wednesday and Thursday only (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.

Are you looking for leadership opportunities for your junior high student this summer? Fallen Timbers is again hosting Camp Invention (a STEM camp for our elementary and middle school students) and is looking for Leaders-in-Training to help facilitate activities.
