Brief Notes
Doris Battle, Editor

 Spring – it’s our time to shine

I am so excited, because it is springtime.

“Spring begins in the northern hemisphere around the months of March, April, May. The axis of the earth is tilted toward the sun, and the length of the daylight rapidly increases. The northern hemisphere begins to warm significantly, causing new plant growth to “spring forth,” giving the season its name. April showers bring May flowers.”

We hear meteorologists talk about this also being Hurricane Season, but in the State of Tennessee, especially in the education community of Haywood County, it is not only springtime, it is TCAP time.

The students in the Haywood County School System will be taking TCAP tests April 14-18 in Grades 1-8. Most administrators, teachers, parents, and students become extremely stressed during this time of year. I, too, suffer with this feeling of unrest as a system level administrator and as a parent. I must remember, though, that our students are the smartest in the state, and our administrators and teachers are the best in the state. I know that TCAP tests are intended to help us evaluate the school system, individual school programs, teachers, and students in order to make decisions about how to provide the best learning environment for the students in our system. I want to encourage your children to come prepared to “spring forth.”

In the Springtime, as the flowers are blooming and the trees are budding, our children come alive with their best effort during testing time. So let’s relax and enjoy spring – and our children - and know that they will be successful. The hard work has been done.

With five days left before testing, I want to commend the staff in our schools for their efforts in preparing the students for testing time.

It’s their time to shine!
