Testing Update
Round 2 of ISTEP+ will begin April 17th.
IREAD3 Testing for Third Graders
The purpose of the Indiana Reading Evaluation And Determination (IREAD-3) assessment is to measure foundational reading standards through grade three. Based on the Indiana Academic Standards, IREAD-3 is a summative assessment that was developed in accordance with House Enrolled Act 1367 (also known as Public Law 109 in 2010), which "requires the evaluation of reading skills for students who are in grade three beginning in the Spring of 2012 to ensure that all students can read proficiently before moving on to grade four."
Results are expected to be available by the end of April. Parents will receive results as soon as we have them available. Any student who does not pass will have the opportunity to take the assessment in June following a two week summer school session.
Fourth Graders to Perform
The classes of Mrs. Milender, Mrs. Rodgers, Miss Payton and Mrs. Wilson will perform on March 21.
Both programs will begin at 7:00pm. All doors will unlock at 6:30 for student/parent arrival. Students should report to their classrooms by 6:45pm. There are no specific dress requirements.
March 20-23 is Riley Week at South!
Our school participates in Kids Caring & Sharing for Riley Hospital, a special project of the Indiana Association of School Principals. During the week of March 20-23 we will be holding our annual “Riley Week.” Each student is invited to participate! We are asking students to consider a $5.00 donation in exchange for participating in “dress up days” during March 20-23.
Students may bring their $5.00 beginning March 20. The “dress up days” will be as follows:
Monday, March 20- March Madness Day
Tuesday, March 21- Crazy Hair Day
Wednesday, March 22- Superhero Day
Thursday, March 23- Hawaiian Day
On Thursday, March 23rd, students will show off the volleyball skills they have been learning in PE class by competing against other classes in their grade level. Winning classes will take on the teachers in a final match.
Third Grade will compete from 8:00-9:15 and Fourth Grade from 9:30-10:45. Parents are welcome to attend.
