Reminder - School will be in session on April 22 as a make up day.
ILEARN
The ILEARN window for grades 3 - 6 is quickly approaching. We will start testing April 22 and will have all testing wrapped up by May 17th. A little closer to time, we will send home a more detailed schedule for when each grade level will be testing during that window. Please avoid making appointments for your child during testing times. Please make sure your child gets lots of rest and eats a good breakfast. Please encourage your child to do the best they can on the assessment. ILEARN will focus on growth. It is important that students do the best they can so we get an accurate picture of where they need further instruction. ILEARN is not timed like ISTEP was. If timed tests cause anxiety for your child, please reassure them that they will have plenty of time to take ILEARN.
IREAD
There are no changes to the IREAD 3 test for our 3rd graders this year. If you have older children that have tested in the past, you can expect the same test and reporting. Our IREAD window will be March 18 - 22. Please make sure you avoid scheduling appointments for your 3rd grader that week.
Shorts
As the weather starts to warm up, please remember that students are not permitted to wear shorts until April 1. We will be going outside for recess every opportunity we get. Spring weather can offer some pretty chilly mornings.
Flu Season . . . YUCK!
Hopefully we will be wrapping up the flu season soon. Please remember that your child needs to be fever and vomit free for 24 hours (without fever reducing medication) before returning to school. We want to limit the spread of illness as much as we can.
Sling Studios
A Sling Studio was purchased this semester for each school in the district. North Elementary has participated in streaming some sports events live and will stream our programs in the future. Mrs. Newcomer has been working with several students to produce weekly video announcements with the equipment purchased. The students are having fun with the productions. I am impressed with what they have already accomplished and am excited to see what they can do with this technology in the future.
