Bear Cave
Week of 11/28/22
From the desk of Principal Lam
Welcome back! I hope that you and your family had an enjoyable Thanksgiving Break with family and friends. We are excited to welcome students back for the last 3 weeks of the 2nd marking period. There are A LOT of holiday activities planned for students, parents, and staff this month. Be sure to check our December Calendar below.
iReady Testing: The iReady testing will begin this week for students in grades 3-5. The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that district students take three times per year in reading and math. Each question a student receives as part of the assessment is individualized based on their answer to the previous question. A series of correct answers will prompt slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers prompt slightly easier questions. Once finished with the assessment, students receive a "just right" placement level. The test is untimed. You can help your child prepare for this assessment in several ways:
- Encourage them to do their best
- Encourage them to take their time, carefully read each question, and think about the best answer
- Help them get a good night's rest the night before they test
- Have them eat a nutritious breakfast at home or encourage them to get breakfast at school
- Plan ahead so that you and your child(ren) are not rushed in the morning
- Talk with your child after the test to see how they felt about it, what their results were, etc.
PTA: We will have the Holiday Store for students to shop the week of December 12th. We are seeking volunteers to work the shop. Please let us know when you can help by completing this form
Parent Survey: We want to know how we are doing! Our goal is to provide a supportive learning environment where students achieve at high levels. To do that, it is crucial that we work closely with our families to support our students. Please consider taking a moment to complete this short survey.
On and Ever Upward,
