Riddle of the WEEK!
Riddle:
The distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 100 million miles. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second, and light takes eight minutes to reach the Earth from the Sun.  Let's say the Sun rose at 6am this morning, and that by some freak of physics the speed of light is suddenly doubled to 372,000 miles a second.

What time will the Sun rise tomorrow?

Let us know what you think about our new look announcements!

  • It's time to take the Star360 Spring Tests! They begin 5/23, and will go through 5/27.  Remember, you can either take these tests from home, or you can come in to take them at school during open labs. 
    • On 5/23, you will need to check your email for your STAR username and password, and then follow the instructions on the STAR360 Student Directions.
    • If you haven't completed both tests by 5/27, your classes may be placed "on hold" on 5/30, so that you can complete your tests without distractions. Your classes will then be made available as soon as you complete both your math and reading tests.
    The end of the year is almost here!  We can''t wait to see how much you've grown and improved in your learning this year!
