CSAPs
Hip, Hip, Hooray! Animas High students completed Colorado State Testing (CSAP) last week. Although sitting for multi-hour, standardized assessments is not something that happens often at AHS, our students displayed poise, maturity, focus and commitment throughout the testing process. The CSAPs, which we are confident will display our students competence and proficiency, are taken once a year by Colorado 9th and 10th graders. Demonstrating school-wide mastery on this standardized assessment gives us the flexibility to pursue progressive teaching methodologies and employ 21st century strategies. As our friends at CSI like to say, “Strong CSAP scores are the shield that allows us to do what we do!” We are excited to see the results of our students’ work and we appreciate all the effort and energy that went into last week’s testing experiences. Make-ups for a small group of students will occur in the afternoons this week. Questions or comments regarding AHS’s standardized assessments program can be sent to Coordinator of Exceptional Student Services and Testing, jeff.digiacomo@animashighschool.com.
AHS Dance
“Goodbye Winter” is the theme for the AHS dance this Friday, April 2nd at the Durango Recreation Center 6-8:45 p.m. Parents, please pick up your students by 8:45 p.m. so the Rec Center staff does not have to stay late. We’ll have a professional DJ, snacks and drinks for students. Students are encouraged to bring one high school-aged guest who must be cleared with Jake Lauer, AHS Student Services Director prior to the dance. We look forward to a magical evening of terrific music, dancing, activities and fun with our friends as we say goodbye to the cold and the snow! Questions or concerns can be sent to pac@animashighschool.com
