Spring Weather

As temperatures begin to warm up, please remind your child that they will need a coat for recess if the temperature has not reached 60 degrees.  If they are playing and get warm, they are asked to tie their coat around their waist.

 

Testing Season

We are approaching the testing season after break. We will be taking two different tests, the MSTEP and the NWEA. Our testing will take place in the morning on the following dates. Please try to avoid scheduling any appointments during these times. With both of these tests, we need to take a math test and a reading test. Here are the dates that we are testing:

  • MSTEP Reading - April 19th and 20th

  • NWEA Reading   - April 26th and 27th

  • MSTEP Math - May 4th and 5th

  • NWEA Math - May 17th and 18th

 

Computers

After spring break, if you would like your child to keep their computer/charger at school, instead of bringing it home every night, please send their charger with them back to school.  I will have computer stations set up so they can leave their computer at school to charge overnight.  With testing season coming up in a few weeks, it is important that computers are fully charged and this is one way we can ensure that happens.  We’ve also had parents express concerns about the management of computers at home, so this could help with that situation as well.  

 

Positivity Project Character Strength :   This week’s character strength is Fairness.  You believe that all people have value.  You approach situations with an unbiased mindset and treat everyone with respect!
