Principal's Message...
This week at Deal we are turning our attention in the morning's to a smooth administration of the DC CAS tests, assessments that measure student progress in reading, math, science (8th grade), composition (7th grade), and health (8th grade). This is the last year we will take the DC CAS, as the plan is for it to be replaced with a new assessment, aligned with the Common Core standards, known as the PARCC test. I detail below the plan for the next two weeks; please give us a hand by doing what you are already doing: getting them ready for school each and every day. We will do our best to keep the atmosphere focused. We will not, however, drop everything for the test - most activities will continue with minor changes.
Last week I hinted at the success of our students at the DC STEM fair over at HD Woodson. The list of winners (below) is outstanding - every student who moved past the Deal Science Fair received recognition at DC STEM. Before you say "this always happens" let me point out that it doesn't always happen. The field is very competitive and while our Vikings usually take home something, this week's success was truly remarkable. Caroline Katzive and Jacob Weizner won the 1st and 2nd place Grand Prize Awards - earning the absolute highest honor for their work. The work students do for the Science Fair is reflective of our goals in each subject: students do meaningful work within a setting that approximates what professionals in the field do. I couldn't be prouder of all of our students for this powerful effort.
For many of you, the cheer squad has been a bit below the radar - they are a focused team and not necessarily preparing to be on the sidelines at games. Their work takes place in competitions, where they do exceedingly well. They recently took first place at the DCIAA cheer championships. On Saturday, they won first place in the Advanced Junior High Division at the Maryland Regionals - and in so doing won a bid to Nationals in Virginia Beach on May 2. The cheer squad, by the way, is coached by the entire Baxter family!
Take care.
James Albright

The overall schedule is as displayed in the chart - all students test on reading and math for the first week, and then 7th and 8th graders have content-specific assessments in the second week.

Each testing day will follow a Bell T schedule: testing in the morning then a modified schedule. Testing starts at 9 in the morning, with two rounds (reading, a break, then math). Since both reading and math tests have four sections, we cover these over four days. Each testing period lasts around an hour, the break is about 15 minutes with snacks, and students can take breaks with proctors as needed. The rest of the day really gets going around 11:15; we will have 5 periods a day (with a little rotation so none are missed too much). Students are encouraged to bring books to read when they are done with testing, but they may not bring e-readers. We have followed this testing schedule successfully over the last few years and made adjustments as necessary. On your side, please:
- make sure your child is well-rested and well-fed
- send them in with a book (if they don't have one at school)
- make sure they get in the building on time. Otherwise, they have to wait through a section and retake during the afternoon.
- do not schedule any appointments that aren't absolutely necessary.
We are really proud of the learning that has taken place at Deal over the year and are looking forward to moving through this assessment cycle with success. Please check in with any of the staff at school if you have a question about any part of this.

Summer Program Middle School Girls at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center - July 2014
NASA is sponsoring a summer program for middle school girls, July 14-18, 2014, at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). SISTER (Summer Institute in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Research) will introduce the students to non-traditional career roles for women and increase their awareness of the educational preparation and job opportunities. The objectives will be met by exposing them to "hands-on" activities, bonding and interaction with current students and professionals in these roles, and fostering a learning environment with scientific and mathematic enrichment.
Visit the website http://education.gsfc.nasa.gov/sister/index.html for more information and contact resources.
Additional program information includes:
The SISTER program is designed to increase awareness of and provide an opportunity for female middle school students to be exposed to and explore nontraditional career fields with GSFC women engineers, mathematicians, scientists, technicians and researchers. The objectives of the program include introducing young women to a technical working environment; acquainting students with GSFC missions; providing an awareness of educational programs and internships available during high school, undergraduate and graduate study; providing observations and experiences with real hands-on projects researched and developed by women at GSFC. The SISTER program components include such activities as women scientist, engineers, technicians, researchers, and mathematicians as mentors; women speakers in various fields at GSFC; women entrepreneur role models; multicultural experiences; a tour of facilities; building and launching rockets; hands-on science experiments; and written communication experiences; and interpersonal and human relations skills building.
