This Week:
i-Ready testing - Thursday, Sept 17th
The most important thing we can do is prepare students and motivate them to put forth their best effort during the test.
To help prepare your child for the i-Ready Diagnostic, encourage them to
● Get a good night's sleep and eat a full breakfast on the day(s) of the assessment.
● Try their best on each question and try not to rush.
● Try not to worry about questions they do not know
Curriculum Night
We are looking forward to seeing parents at the 3/4 Curriculum Night on Thursday, Sept. 17th, at 5:30pm- 6:15pm in room 205.
If you have a schedule conflict and cannot make it, please do not worry! We will send a paper copy of the presentation home with your child.
- 5:30 - 5:50 pm in Mrs. Butzin's classroom (room 205). We will present a short summary of the curriculum and explain the routines and organization that your child will experience and practice this year.
- 5:55- 6:15 p.m. Mrs. Roberts, Mr. Hill, and the Co-Curricular staff will present in the media center.
Please note:
- The 5/6 and 7/8 presentations are also on Thursday (after 3/4 grade), so the parking lot will be crowded! Mrs. Roberts requests that parents who do not have children in grades 5/6 and 7/8 exit shortly after the 3/4 presentations to make room for parents arriving.
Picture Day is Wednesday, September 23rd
