Hermann Elementary Bearcat Bulletin
Learn. Lead. Grow. Succeed. Together!
April 18, 2019
Spring break is upon us! We've worked hard for so many weeks and are ready to reap the rewards of this long weekend. I hope you have a few moments to enjoy all of the sweetness of Spring this weekend.
April always seems to pass quickly because it's busy! Olympic gold medalist, Michael Phelps, reminds us, "it's not about how you start, but how you finish." This is a valuable habit to reinforce this time of year at school and at home. We have five weeks of learning left to do. The staff at HES would appreciate your support as we work to finish strong! Regular attendance, arriving at school on time, and balancing extra activities with school work are ways to help your child finish this school year strong!
Grade Level Assessments
It is extremely important for your child to attend school during these assessments. Testing begins at 8:30 so arriving at school on time is also vital to your child's success. A good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast will also set your child up for a successful testing experience! While these tests are extremely important, we want our students to know that each day at Hermann Elementary is important. A positive work ethic is important each day at school, especially during assessment week. We believe that these assessments are a great time to showcase all we know!
DRA reading assessments will start for Kindergarten the week of April 29. First, second and third grade DRAs will be conducted in the weeks that follow. Again, this is a great time to show all we know!
