A few of you still need to complete these tests. We are extending the deadline to complete them until 2/5. We have opened the courses up so you can work this weekend, but beginning Monday morning, your courses will be blocked until tests are complete. Early College Students, please read email sent out earlier on Friday. Please note:
- You can either take these tests from home, or you can come in to take them at school during open labs.
- Your classes will be remain "on hold" until you complete both your math and reading tests.
Note: Remember that there is no right or wrong score on this test but i’s important that you do your very best on these tests, so that we can help you succeed. 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.

Please check your email for your UN/PW now, and access the STAR360 Student Directions to begin (Monitor Password: ADMIN).

The CAL HOSA team, which stands for Health Occupations Students of America, are participating April, in the State Leadership Conference, where they compete against other students in competitive events, such as CPR, first aid, medical terminology, medical spelling, speaking, the HOSA bowl, sports medicine, plus many others. In order to cover the costs of this competition, along with the costs to send a few students to the National Leadership Conference, CAL will be doing some fundraising. Next Tuesday and Wednesday (February 2nd and 3rd), they will be holding a blood drive over at CAL as a way to earn some cash to cover expenses. If you're interested in supporting our HOSA team, in addition to saving lives, please email Savanah (lehman8
Thanks so much for your consideration and hopefully we will see you at the blood drive!

The Oregon State Legislature is at it again. The 2016 session doesn’t convene until February 1, but virtual public schools are already a target of state policymakers who don’t understand this important education option. To learn more about this legislation please follow this link!

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.
