School Picture Day
Fall Benchmark Testing
Indian Prairie School District 204 will administer aimswebPlus benchmark assessments this fall to students in kindergarten through eighth grade. These brief Illinois Learning Standards aligned assessments evaluate student academic performance and growth in the areas of reading and mathematics. Specifically, depending on grade level, literacy measures will assess vocabulary, phonological awareness, word recognition, reading comprehension and reading fluency. Additionally, depending on grade level, numeracy measures will assess number sense, operations, algebraic thinking, measurement/data, geometry, fractions and ratios/proportions. The assessment results are used by teachers and administrators to assist with instructional planning and differentiation at the grade, classroom and student level.
Should you have any questions regarding aimswebPlus, please contact Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. Vogel or your child's classroom teacher.
Chromebook Expectations
School Safety Procedures
Continuing over the course of the next couple of weeks, students and staff will practice implementing procedures that would be used during emergency situations. Students will learn and practice our safety procedures for fire, severe weather, and other crisis situations in order to assist them in understanding the proper procedures should they be needed at school. Thank you for reinforcing these procedures when you talk to your child about school safety drills.
School Spirit Day
We are looking forward to our first School Spirit Day at Clow School! This will take place on Friday, September 3rd. We invite students and staff to wear our school colors, green and gold, or wear Clow spirit wear on the first Friday of each month. Stay tuned for more information from the Clow PTA regarding the opportunity to order spirit wear.
