LHS Alum in national spotlight for Women's College World Series 

 
When Lynnwood High School class of 2017 senior Maddie Morgan graduated she went from Royal to Roll Tide. Now, in her senior year on the #5 ranked Alabama softball team, she made it to the College World Series.

Here is a video of her hitting a Homerun against Kentucky in the Super Regional May 29. Way to go, Maddie!


 

 


 

State testing plan for the 2021-22 school year
 

Spring is typically a time when our students sit for state testing. However, this year is far from normal and while our state was not approved for a testing waiver, we were able to postpone our testing until next year.

 

In the fall, students will test for their 2020-21 grade level. In the spring, as in a normal year, students will test for their current grade level (2021-22).

 

For a detailed plan of student testing in the fall, please visit our website .

 

 

Fall 2021 testing (testing for the 2020-21 grade level):

  • Students who are in grades 4-9 and 11 will take the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA), English Language Arts (ELA) and Math tests.

  • Students in grades 6, 9, and 12 will also take the Washington Comprehensive Assessment in Science (WCAS) test.

  • For fall 2021 testing, the state will reduce the length of the tests and we will have results within two weeks.

  • Seniors who have not yet met their Grad Pathway may take the fall SBA ELA or Math tests to complete those pathways.

  • The SBA/WCAS test window will be September 27-November 10 .

  • The Washington Access to Instruction and Measurement (WA-AIM) test window (for tests not completed this spring) will be September 27-December 10.

  • Individual schools will develop and share their specific test schedules with families as the window approaches.

NOTE: Because the English Language Proficiency Assessments (ELPA)/WIDA tests for English Learner (EL) students took place during Spring 2021, those assessments will not be part of the Fall 2021 test window. The regular annual EL assessment will be in Spring 2022.

 

 

 


 

Is your student highly capable? Answer these questions:

 

  • Are they exceptionally curious?

  • Do they come up with complex and abstract ideas?

  • Does your student learn new ideas without instruction or direction?

  • Do they ponder advanced questions with depth and from multiple perspectives?

  • Does your student learn exceptionally quickly?

  • Do they enjoy solving problems, especially with numbers and puzzles?

 

If you see most or all of these characteristics in your student, they may be highly capable!

 

Ask your student's teacher to see if they recommend your child for testing. A parent/guardian, student, staff member, or a community member may recommend testing for any student.

 

What is the Highly Capable/Gifted Program?

 

The Highly Capable/Gifted Program for first through 6th grade elementary students is a self-contained full-time district program located at Terrace Park Elementary. The Gifted Middle School Program is housed at Brier Terrace Middle School and is a mix of self-contained and combined classes for 7th and 8th grade students. These programs are for students who perform or show potential for performing at significantly advanced academic levels when compared with others of their age, experiences, or environments. The Cognitive Abilities Test serves as one tool in the screening process for the program.

 

More information and referrals are now available on the Highly Capable Program website and are due by November 30, 2021 for possible start in the 2022-2023 school year

Nick Wood, assistant football coach

WESCO Athletics named Wood, the team's defensive coordinator, “Coach of The Year.” “The Warrior defense had an outstanding year under Nick's leadership,” said McGuire. “We held our opponents to a combined 20 points on the season. Nick's Warrior defense has a strong reputation among our opponents, having had the number one defense in the league for the past two seasons.”

When Lynnwood High School Class of 2017 alum Maddie Morgan graduated, she went from Royal to Roll Tide. Now, in her last year on the Alabama softball team, which ranks No. 5, she made it to the College World Series.

 

The team reached the semifinal round on Monday night, June 7, playing the Florida State University Seminoles. Ultimately, Alabama lost to FSU, 8-5, to end the season.

State Assessment Plan for the 2021-22 School Year

 

Typically, our students take their state assessments in the spring. However, this year is anything but normal and while our state was not approved for a testing exception, we were able to postpone our testing until next year.

 

In the fall, students will take the assessments for their 2020-21 grade level. In the spring, as is normally the case in a school year, students will take their assessments for their current grade level (2021-2022).

 

To see a detailed plan for student assessments in the fall, please visit our website .

 

 

 

Do you think your student is very capable? Answer these questions:

 

Your student…

 

  • Are you exceptionally curious?

  • Does it propose complex and abstract ideas?

  • Do you learn new ideas without instructions or prompts? 

  • Does it reflect deeply on advanced questions and taking into account different points of view?

  • Do you learn extraordinarily fast?

  • Do you enjoy solving problems, especially those involving numbers and puzzles?

 

If you can see many of these qualities in him/her, your student may be very capable!

 

Ask your student's teacher to see if he/she recommends that your child take the assessment. A parent/guardian, student, staff member, or community member may refer any student for evaluation.  

 

What is the Highly Competent/Gifted Program?

 

The Highly Competent/Gifted Program for elementary students beginning in first grade through sixth grade is a full-time, self-contained District program located at Terrace Park Elementary. The high school gifted program is located at Brier Terrace Middle School and has a mix of self-contained and blended classes for seventh and eighth grade students. These programs are for students who perform or show the ability to perform at a significantly advanced academic level when compared to other students of the same age, experience, or background. The cognitive skills assessment serves as one of the program tools of the selection process.
