District Announcements MEAP and MME Scores 2011-2012 The Michigan State Board of Education recently adopted new, higher cut scores for the MEAP (grades 3-9) and MME (11th grade) state assessments. The new cut scores represent a significantly higher standard for student achievement in an attempt to "raise the bar" and be a better measure of student progress toward career and college readiness . This action will result in fewer students being deemed "proficient" on state tests and fewer schools making AYP. Most likely, Western will see a reduction in student performance this year. The District maintains high standards for its students, and their test scores are consistently among the highest in the state. We anticipate this trend will continue even with the new cut scores. Please go to the link below for a video explaining the changes. http://www.mistreamnet.com/  Western School District Calendar 2011-2012 Attached is a REVISED SCHOOL CALENDAR for the remainder of the 2011-2012 school year. Please note the changes (3) denoted with *** beginning with the students return to school following the holiday break on Tuesday, January 3.
