Welcome Back
Ready Rosie
We are so excited about this new program that we have purchased to help our Westside families. ReadyRosie is an online resource that delivers daily video based emails in both English and Spanish to parents. The videos feature real families modeling quick activities that can be done at home to promote success in school!
You will receive a flyer in your child's folder today or tomorrow that will give you the directions on how to sign up! Please take the time to do this. It even has the option of helping you with smaller children and toddlers if you have other children at home.
Thanks for your time and thanks for your attention to this exciting opportunity! If you have any questions or need help signing up, please contact us at the school office.
State Testing
1st and 2nd grade students will take the Iowa Test of Basic Skills next week on April 5,6,& 7.
4th grade will take the ACT aspire on the 18th & 19th.
3rd grade will take the ACT aspire on 20th & 21st.
What can you do to ensure that your child will do their best on testing days?
Make sure your student gets plenty of sleep the night before the test and has breakfast in the morning. Also make sure that your child arrives to school on time. If they are late and testing has started, they will have to wait in the office until a designated break time. Most importantly- encourage your child. We want them to try their best, but we do not want them to be stressed. Encouragement from you will go a long way.
