Today was the first 8th grade graduation from The St. Michael School of Clayton.
In one of the graduate speeches given this morning at graduation it was stated,
“ St. Michael’s allowed me to grow into a responsible young man that you see at this moment. This school has opened my eyes to new opportunities and the teachers have helped me grow into the young adult I am today. I love this school because at this school everyone sees my potential and has allowed me to soar. This school has been the best thing that has happened to me.”
I couldn’t have said it any better. Congratulations to our graduates!
Our first 8th grade graduation is a very exciting step for SMSOC.
We look forward to our middle school growing and maturing in the next several years.
Our middle school, 5th-8th grade, will have 65 students in the 2012-2013 school year.

Standardized Test - OLSAT / SAT -
Standardized testing will be administered next week.
The Otis Lennon School Test is an ability test. The OLSAT will be administered to the kindergarten through eighth grade. It is designed to measure abstract thinking and reasoning ability. The OLSAT tests the ability to problem solve school learning tasks, it also suggests possible placement for school learning functions, and evaluates their achievement in relation to the talents they bring to school learning situations. In order for students to learn new things they must be able to perceive accurately, to recognize and recall what has been perceived, to think logically, to understand relationships, to abstract from a set of particulars and to apply generalizations to new and different contexts.
OLSAT tasks include:
detecting likenesses and differences
following directions
classifying
establishing sequences
