Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress
We will begin administering Iowa Statewide Assessments of Student Progress (ISASP) on April 15-18. School will still start at 8:15 but each day we will run a two hour late start schedule to accommodate testing in the morning. The writing section of the test will take longer. On the day that your child completes the writing section they will test longer in the morning or do an afternoon session.
Parents/guardians also play an essential role in helping prepare students for testing. Discuss the importance of these assessments with your student and assist him/her in approaching the tests with a positive attitude.
Please ensure your child:
Plans ahead to avoid conflicts in the testing schedule. Attendance is an extremely important factor in determining success.
Takes their time. TESTS ARE NOT TIMED.
Maintains a consistent bedtime.
Eats breakfast and stays hydrated.
Fundraiser Update
Thanks for everyone who has participate in the Jefferson fundraiser. I appreciate the communication I have had with some of you regarding this fundraiser. I would like to clear up a few things.
*All students will participate in the day of Awesomeness no matter if you do or not not participate in the fundraiser. The level of participating is dictated by the level of participation. The link below is a revised link on participation. There were some errors in the initial form that was sent home. The information on page 3 has been revised to match the district guidelines and align with the Middle School event. I apologize for any errors in what was communicated last week. This has been discussed with the representative from the company.
*Students can still turn in their Golden Tickets through Wednesday. They can be turned in at the Jefferson Conference room.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Brian Miller at brian.miller@pella.k12.ia.us. We appreciate all your help.
