Friendly reminders:

Encourage them to remain focused and do their very best work on each assessment.
- It is important for your child to get enough rest the night before.
- A nutritious breakfast boosts academic performance by providing sustained energy, improving concentration, and enhancing memory for test-taking.
- Punctuality before testing is crucial for reducing anxiety and ensuring a calm, focused mindset.
- Please avoid scheduling any appointments or trips during testing as make-up periods are very limited.
- Your child needs to come to school each day with a FULLY charged Chromebook.
SUMMER YOUTH AVIATION CAMP 2026
The members of the Experimental Aviation Association Chapter 5 are proud to announce enrollment for their annual week-long day camp for middle school students (going into grades 7 through 11) who are interested in flying.
The EAA Chapter 5 Summer Youth Aviation Camp will take place July 6-10 for new campers at the Geauga County Airport in Hangar 3 from 9:00 am to 3:45 pm and is designed for kids with a real interest in AVIATION!
Students will actively participate in learning about aerodynamics, parts of a plane, the engine, flight operations, careers in aviation; will develop skills in map reading, riveting, woodworking & building; and will be given opportunities to tour the airport facilities and to “fly” on flight simulators.
There will also be daily activities such as glider flying contests & scientific experimentation, as well as fun recreational activities. After the camp, there will be an opportunity for campers to take a Young Eagle Flight (parental permission given and weather permitting) on Saturday, July 11th, with Sunday, July 12th as the rain date.
Space in the camp is limited to 18 students to allow for more hands-on opportunities. Registration forms and $150 fee due by Thursday, May 14th, 2026.
