Vikings!

       We are on our way to Excellence!!!  Our students just completed their third benchmark assessment.  The benchmark assessment are highly correlated to the SC PASS test and accurately predicts how our students will preform on the test.  Our comprehensive data indicates that our students are prepared to score at the "Average" level for the first time in school history!  For the past 18 years that Mayewood has been a middle school, it has never earned above "Below Average" on the state report card.  This year our students, teachers, and staff worked tirelessly to change that record.  They all will deserve a great celebration if this goal is accomplished.
        Despite the strong prediction, our students still have to take the SC PASS test.  We encourage our students to make the last push to history and to do their best on the SC PASS test.  With the support of our parents and students, we can duplicate our success on the SC PASS test.  Students are encouraged to go to bed by 9:00 p.m. the night before each test so that they will be rested and mentally prepared to take the test.  We invite all stakeholders to celebrate with us on May 2, 2014 at 12:00 for our Pre-PASS kickoff and on May 23, 2014 for our PASS incentive trip.  Thanks to all Vikings and have a wonderful Spring Break!
