Today is the Ides of March, an expression from the Roman Calendar, and as I write this I thought a little history lesson was in order. The following information was taken from www.inforplease.com Please refer to the following for Roman calendar history! You might also want to check your knowledge of Julius Ceasar!

  The term Ides comes from the earliest Roman calendar, which is said to have been devised by Romulus, the mythical founder of Rome. Whether it was Romulus or not, the inventor of this calendar had a penchant for complexity. The Roman calendar organized its months around three days, each of which served as a reference point for counting the other days:

• Kalends (1st day of the month)
• Nones (the 7th day in March, May, July, and October; the 5th in the other months)
• Ides (the 15th day in March, May, July, and October; the 13th in the other months)

 As easy as that was to retrieve information about the “Ides of March” expression so to is it my goal for this web site, ease of information. I hope you find this site useful and up to date for all your school information.

This week the High School is engaged in the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT). Towards the latter part of the month our lower grades will be taking the Ohio Achievement Test (OAT) please check with your son or daughter for more information. This is a good opportunity to talk about what they know and what they thought about the test questions.

Hope your March is going well!
