Hubbard Elementary School
Family Newsletter - March 2022
Welcome Spring!
Hubbard Families,
Spring is here, with the various weather types that come with it! Spring is filled with all the weather changes outside the building and inside there is a lot of learning and teaching as we prepare for the end of the year assessments. If you have questions about your child's assessment dates, please reach out to the teacher(s). Here are district and state level assessments we are preparing for:
- IRI - Idaho Reading Indicator is for all students in Idaho that are kindergarten - 3rd grade. This assessment will happen early May.
- ISIP - Istation Indicator of Progress is for kindergarten - 5th grade students and is an early reading screener and diagnostic. This assessment is taken monthly (September-May) as a progress report of growth in reading.
- ISAT - ISAT Comprehensive Assessment System is the state assessment for 3rd-8th and 10th grade students in reading/writing and math. Our 3rd grade students will be taking this during the end of April and early May.
- IReady - iReady Math Diagnostic is an adaptive math assessment that our kindergarten - 3rd grade students take three times a year. The next diagnostic will happen during the first few weeks of May.
Our teachers and staff work hard to prepare students for assessments while also spacing assessments out so that it's not all during the same day or week. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child's teacher as sleep, breakfast, and positive support is always a great way to helps students to prepare for the assessments!
Warmest wishes to all,
Justine Burgess
Principal
