The 2021 State Tests will be administered next week.

All home schooled students are invited to take the test in school if they so desire . In the interests of safety all home schooled students who opt to take the test will need to provide results of a negative PCR test (not a rapid test) taken within 3 days of the test. This would necessitate a test done this weekend in order to receive the results in time for the test.

This is the schedule for testing:

Grade 4          Tuesday April 20 

In school students will take the test beginning at 9:00 in their classroom.

Home schooled students will take the test in the auditorium from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM

Grade 6           Wednesday April 21 

In school students will take the test beginning at 9:00 in their classroom.

Home schooled students will take the test in the auditorium from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM

Grade 7           Thursday April 22 

In school students will take the test beginning at 9:00 in their classroom.

Home schooled students will take the test in the auditorium from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM

If you choose to have your home schooled student take the test please advise us by email. We would also need to know if you will be picking your child up when they are dismissed from the main door  of the building or if your child walks or takes the bus.

Grade 4 Please email Ms. Richards

Grades 6 and 7 Please email Mrs. Varvaro

Graduation Pictures will be taken  this Monday, April 19th.

The morning will be for in-school students only. I have their caps and gowns.

The afternoon is for remote students who wish to have their picture taken. The caps and gowns will be in the OLPH Room. The gowns are in packages labeled with the students’ names. Because of the neckline on the gown boys should wear a shirt and tie for the pictures. 

The schedule is:

9am – 11am- Photograph “in house” students and “in house” graduates, and faculty.

11am- 12pm- Lunch break and custodian will sanitize the room (OLPH Room behind the stage). 

12pm- 2pm- Remote Graduates and remote students.

Remote students will come in through the OLPH door only. (door B on Francis Lewis Boulevard). I strongly suggest that the graduates arrive early since 21 students need to be photographed and at this time we don’t know how many other remote students will want to be photographed. Please line up on Francis Lewis Boulevard maintaining social distancing.

All orders are done online.

We are not taking any money or orders in school, all online.

Remote students will leave immediately after taking their picture with their parents

Save the Date! Graduation will be taking place on Friday June 11th. I don’t have complete information at this time, but if you need to take the day off or plan a celebration you now have a date. It may be possible to have an in person ceremony but with restrictions on the number of guests. This has not been confirmed but I will update this information as soon as I have definite plans and times.

High School

SHSAT results are supposed to be released by the end of April. Remember, getting an offer to one of the eight testing Specialized High Schools is not a guarantee and if a student receives an offer it will only be for one school.

Later in the spring students will receive one offer from among the schools listed on their applications. There is no guarantee that they will be matched to one of their choices. If they are not matched to one of their choices they will be assigned to another school with programs similar to those on their application. 

Waitlists will open after results from the high school are released.
