State Testing

As a reminder, we will complete the state test, NSCAS Growth, when we return from Spring Break. The Nebraska Department of Education requires testing in English Language Arts and Mathematics for students in grades 3 - 8 and Science in grade 5.

As a follow-up from Fall and Winter testing, we will administer the MAP Growth test in the spring for all students in grades K - 5 in Reading and Mathematics.

We will send home the student reports for both tests when available.

No School on March 17

March 17th is a Teacher Planning Day. There is no school for students.

Today we are kicking off a TAGG Madness campaign. Click on the link below to see the attached flyer for all the information on how to help raise money for Neihardt.

TAGG is the easiest way to raise funds for our school year-round, just by going to the types of places you already go! The flyer can be found here: https://bit.ly/madness_neihardt

• The first week (March 13-20) all classrooms will compete for the most funds raised with TAGG!
• The top 16 classes will then be placed on a tournament bracket based on $ raised
• Each week they will compete against another classroom for the most funds raised (that week) and will advance on the bracket until they are knocked out and we have one winner left!
• The winning classroom will get a pizza party!
• If the school raises $500, everyone gets a popcorn party!

Thank you for your support!
