Spring Field Trip- Potawatomi Zoo

Please look in your child’s folder for information on our field trip coming up on Friday, June 3rd!

 

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 Begins this Week!

We will begin M-Step testing on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.  Please be sure your child’s computer is fully charged the night before.  In addition, please ensure they get plenty of rest and a good breakfast the morning of the test.  Students have as much time as they need to take this test.  Anyone that still needs to complete their test will finish on Thursday. Here are the dates for the remainder of our testing sessions.  Please try to avoid absences or appointments on these days:  

  • NWEA Reading   - April 26th and 27th

  • MSTEP Math - May 4th and 5th

  • NWEA Math - May 17th and 18th

 

Computers

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 Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence.  You notice and value the world’s beauty and people’s skills. You don’t take things for granted.
