Read MoreMIDDLE SCHOOL PARENTS: The state tests are just a few weeks away, which means it's time to decide whether you will have your child take them or refuse. Like all schools in New York State, ICE is required to administer the tests. However, unlike most other schools, our school does not include any test prep in the curriculum and encourages parents to be informed about testing issues. (Here's what families can face elsewhere.) We will not tell you "the tests are shorter" (something you may have heard if you have children at other elementary or middle schools) without also saying, "but still, on average, 45 questions longer than they were just a few years ago." We will not say the tests "inform instruction" because teachers here do not use the results. At all.
On Wednesday, parents filled room 518, which had been fortified for the occasion with extra tables and chairs. Principal Pete Karp and science teacher Kristen Bonnici talked about the quantity and nature of student assignments, specified how the complexity of those assignments progressed as students got older, and pointed out how having teachers teach both middle school and high school grades helped them to tweak assignments and curriculum--because they have the benefit of being able to look both backwards and forwards.

How does ICE calculate evidence of student learning?
This will not be a lecture or a Powerpoint, but a hands-on interactive session and discussion where we parents and guardians will do some of the work ourselves, under the guidance of Pete and the teachers present. We will be looking at how this assessment evolves on the continuum between middle school and college.
Parents from all grades welcome.
New families are especially encouraged to attend.
At ICE, we strongly believe that immersion in other cultures through international travel can have life-changing effects upon our students. We also believe that all of our students, regardless of economic ability, should be entitled to this opportunity.
