TIPS Program
Each year during the month
of February our school offers the TIPS (test improvement performance
strategies) program after school in the weeks leading up to the OSSLT.
This program reviews the components of the test and allows students to
practice skills and receive teacher feedback to be better prepared for the
OSSLT.
