It's time to take the Star360 Winter Tests! Video Explanation
Note: It’s important that you do your very best on these tests. Any student that disregards the importance of this test will need to meet with the principal, retake the tests, and effectively jeopardizes their enrollment at MEWA.
- Remember, you can either take these tests from home, or you can come in to take them at school during open labs.
- Our winter testing dates will occur during Week 4 in your Mentor Seminar class, beginning 1/25.
- Beginning 1/25, your classes will be placed "on hold" so that you can complete your tests without distractions. Your classes will be made available as soon as you complete both your math and reading tests.
- On 1/25, you will need to check your email for your username and password, and then follow the instructions on the STAR360 Student Directions.
- You will begin with the 30 minutes math test. When you are finished with it, you will immediately log back in and complete the 30 minute reading test.
- Remember that there is no right or wrong score on this test. This is just being used to identify your current abilities, strengths, and areas for improvement. No matter what your current score is, the goal here is just to improve each time you take STAR360!

Capitol Day
On April 16, 2015, over 250 virtual school students and parents joined us in Salem to show their enthusiastic support for virtual public education. They rallied on the front steps of the Capitol, and walked the halls of the State Legislature to talk to their representatives about the importance of keeping virtual education as an option for Oregon families. Several key legislators were on hand to accept the Golden Apple Award. This award is presented to lawmakers who have supported efforts to expand access to virtual public schools.
If you attended Capitol Day this year or in a previous year, thank you so much for your support. For those of you who have not been able to join us for Capitol Day, you can view photos here.
