Attention Shaker Families,
During the month of April, Shaker Middle School will administer Ohio’s state tests in Language Arts, Math and Science. See the schedule below for test dates and subject areas. We are asking that you ensure that your child arrives at school on time on each day of testing. Additionally, we ask your support in reminding them to fully charge their Chromebook at home the night before and to bring it to school on each testing day. Cell phones, smart watches and any other electronic devices are not allowed in a student’s possession during testing. Those materials will be collected by the test administrator, or the student should place them in their book bag to be placed away from student seating during testing. Thank you for your support!

Shaker Middle School Theater Presents DEAR CHUCK, A full - length dramedy by Jonathan Dorf. Teenagers are typically caught in the middle—they’re not quite adults, but they’re definitely no longer children. Through a series of scenes and monologues, we meet an eclectic group of teen characters who are trying to communicate with that wannabe special someone, coping with the loss of a classmate, battling controlling parents, swimming for that island of calm in the stormy sea of technology—and many others. What they all have in common is the search for their “Chuck,” that elusive moment of knowing who you are.
