All junior high students will report to junior high core area classes (English, Science, Social Studies, World Language, and Math) during their period-based exam times. This is a new experience for the seventh graders, so they may need lots of help in budgeting their time and organizing their materials for proper studying.
All students should gather their class notes, homework, previous tests, and any other pertinent information to help with the review process and begin studying at least two weeks prior to exams. Do not wait until the last minute!
During upcoming Advisory times, strategies, tips, and exam procedures will be covered to help the students be successful with this testing procedure. This information will also be shared with students in their Advisory Google Classroom.

Oakwood Junior High’s Power of the Pen team earned the title of State Champions during their final competition of the year in Ashland, Ohio, on May 16-17. Six students on the team poured their creative energy into their stories throughout the day.
The rigorous writing competition pitted Oakwood students against the top 20% of student writers across the state. Congratulations to the entire state competition team, comprised of eighth graders Avery Enseleit, Mila Gelbart, Kate S., and Krisha Sundaram, as well as seventh graders Naomi Dunn and Annabelle Neumeister.
In individual competition, Kate S. earned the title of State Champion, winning first in the individual competition. Eighth-grader Avery Enseleit earned 12th place.
“The day started with 250 writers from each grade level, so to win shows talent and excellence at the highest level,” Ann Whitehair, Oakwood Junior High English teacher and Power of the Pen advisor, said.
Two seventh-grade writers, Naomi Dunn and Annabelle Neumeister, were recognized and received Platinum Pen Awards for their outstanding writing in the Regional Competition. Their writing will be published in the Power of the Pen 2024 Book of Winners.
