Letter from the Principal
Dear Lions Park Families,
Thanks to our PTO for a wonderful Pawlooza talent show! Family and friends came to cheer on our students last night, and the whole school was treated to a performance today. Our students are lucky to have this opportunity to showcase their many talents! We look forward to the next major PTO event, Fun Fair, on Saturday, March 7th.
Lions Park students were also able to enjoy a performance by the Lincoln orchestra this week. Thanks to their director, Laura Harris, for preparing the middle school students and helping to teach our students about the music they were hearing. We hope the students were inspired to continue playing instruments or to start playing in fifth grade.
Students in third-fifth grades will take the IAR (Illinois Assessment of Readiness) test starting on March 12th. The test schedule is below this letter. This is the state required test that replaced PARCC and before that ISAT. Students throughout the state take a three part math test and a two part ELA (English Language Arts) test. Lions Park was selected for a mandatory field test in ELA at all grade levels. This test will not impact student scores. Fifth grade students will take the ISA (Illinois Science Assessment) on March 2nd, 3rd and 4th at 12:50. This is another state required test. You can help prepare your child for these tests by ensuring that he or she is well rested, providing a healthy breakfast/lunch and encouraging him or her to put forth the best possible effort.
Lions Park is now on Twitter and Instagram. Please follow us on one or both!
