Teacher Appreciation Week
PTO No Cook Night- Please share this with parents! :)
Monday, May 21-Volunteers Needed
Our last official "No Cook Night" of the school year is Monday, May 21, 5p-8p, at the New Culver's in Fox Lake! We are planning some BIG FUN!
In order to increase the percentage we receive from Culver's we need to provide volunteers! Can you spare an hour of your time to come help out? We thought it would be fun to have our FAVORITE ROCK STAR TEACHERS and Administrators helping that evening! We KNOW the kids would LOVE IT!
Sign up here, to volunteer-

Spring Benchmark Testing
AIMS web continues through next week- May 14- May 18. Please remind students to be quiet in the halls, pods, and walking through.
Our Fountas & Pinnell reading benchmarking testing will need to be completed by May 18. Please share kits so that everyone can finish benchmarking on time. If you need additional time please feel free to take until May 25.
Please update all of your google docs so that we have finalized information for next year. We will be starting interventions much earlier next year since we will have the data available. We will use this year's current RtI groups and services to begin our year next year.
