SCE Testing Dates:

This spring your child will be taking the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) Grade-Level Assessments in order to evaluate your student’s progress toward the Missouri Learning Standards. Grade-Level Assessments provide important information that contributes to decisions concerning individual students, groups of students, and educational programs. Assessments are given in the subject areas of Communication Arts (grades 3-8), Mathematics (grades 3-8) and Science (grades 5 and 8).
Please help us by having your students to school on time if it is a testing day for their grade level as testing will begin promptly at 8:45 a.m. Testing will take place on these days for most of the day. If possible, please do not schedule appointments on these days. We would greatly appreciate it. The testing sessions will be split throughout the entire school day to give students needed breaks between sessions.
Face Mask and Water Bottle Reminders
Our water fountains are turned off this year so students aren't touching the water fountains. Instead, students may refill water bottles. Our bottle fillers are touchless which helps prevent the spread of any germs. Please make sure your child has a water bottle each day for school.
House Point App-Parent Sign Up Information
The house point app will let you see the live school house point totals. It will also allow you to see when your individual child earns a house point. The staff are also telling you a category where your child earned a house point. Also, teachers may sometimes leave a personal note for families to learn more about why your child earned the point. The teacher name listed is the staff member who assigned the house point. In your app, you will be able to set this app up to give you a pushed alert on your device whenever your child earns a house point. You will need to download the RCA House Points app (Google or Apple) onto a device or use the website https://rcahousepoints.com.
If you are interested in this, you will need to sign up below for each student you would like to have access to. You will only be able to see your own child's house points and school totals. This will be an opt in only. We will only share the sign up information with parents who want to opt into it. If you sign up, you will receive a paper with the school code and student code for your child. Classroom teachers will send this paper home once the office gives it to them. We would expect to do this as quickly as we can.
We are also hoping to take photos of our students. This way their photo will be in the graphic. Please note you will only be able to see your own child's information at all times.
WSD Kindergarten Registration for 2021-2022 School Year
Kindergarten registration is for all children who will turn five BEFORE August 1, 2021. Parents are asked to register online using the Quick Registration and Screening form. If your child has not been screened at the Parents as Teachers office or his/her preschool this year, appointments are required and can be made when you register online. Screening appointments are available in the morning and evening and are filled on a first come, first served basis. Please note that due to social distancing and space limitations, it may be difficult to accommodate siblings at the screen appointment. Please be sure to check your address with the District’s Boundary Locator tool to determine which school your child will attend prior to registering your child for kindergarten.
All screening appointments will take place at the Parents as Teachers Office at One Campus Drive, Wentzville, MO 63385. Your information will be sent to your child’s elementary school. The school will contact you to complete your child's kindergarten registration. To access a list of necessary materials and documents for registration, please see our Kindergarten Registration Procedures page. For additional information about kindergarten registration and screening, or to check if your child has a current screening on file, please contact the Parents as Teachers office at 636-327-3863, ext. 22281.
If you do not have a Missouri birth certificate, you may obtain one at a cost of $15 from the St. Charles County Community Health/Environment-Vital Statistics Office, 1650 Boone’s Lick, St. Charles, MO 63301, or by calling (636) 949-7558 for more information.
A note from the Nurses
May brings MAP testing. Please remember to feed your students a healthy breakfast and early bedtimes.
MEDICATION:
If your student has medication at school, it will need to be picked up before June 4th, otherwise it will be discarded. If your child is attending summer school, you will need to pick up their medication and transport it to the location of summer school. If your child is attending ESY at Stone Creek, the medication can remain here until the end of ESY. We are not able to keep the medication through the summer and reuse next school year.
COVID:
We are still seeing Covid cases. We are still contact tracing. Please know that we truly appreciate all of your support on this! We know this isn’t easy and all of us have been affected by Covid. We are following the St. Charles County Health Department recommendations. We do measure and look at time of exposure to ensure accuracy. Please understand that we do not make these rules, we can only follow them. Again, thank you so much for your support and patience with all of this!
Please continue to follow the guidelines of keeping your child at home if they aren’t feeling well.
Big Smiles Dental Care:
