The IAR is a statewide assessment that measures student progress in English Language Arts and Mathematics and provides valuable information about academic growth and readiness for the next grade level.

To help your child feel prepared and confident, we encourage the following:
• Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep before each testing day.
• Provide a healthy breakfast.
• Make every effort for your child to arrive at school on time.
• Avoid scheduling appointments during testing days if possible.

Please note that attendance during testing is very important. If your child is absent on one of the scheduled dates, make-up testing will be arranged.

Clay City Junior High students had an interesting Valentine’s Day celebration on Friday. The junior high teachers, led by Ms. Phegley, put on a War of the Roses (knights and castle games) themed Valentine’s party. Every sixth through eighth grade student participated in the activities. Before the games, students were treated to punch and cookies in the commons. Family consumer science students under the direction of Ms. Harris provided cookies for the affair. Additionally, parents donated snacks and drinks for the festivities. The CCJH teachers and staff would like to thank everyone who contributed to making the afternoon fun and special for these students.
