We are excited to host a Parent Academy for all 3rd-5th grade parents on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3rd from 6:00-7:00 PM in the Glen Oaks APR. Parking will be available on the playground, enter through Door 8. The purpose of this Parent Academy is to help you better understand the federally required assessments our 3rd-5th grade students take every spring. This year, the English language arts and math assessment for grades 3-8 is called the Illinois Assessment of Readiness. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided at this event.
Our students will take the Illinois Assessment of Readiness between the dates of April 8th – April 26th. Mints will be provided to students during testing, as studies have shown that doing so can increase alertness and reduce stress. If this presents an issue, please contact the school office prior to the start of the testing window.
As always, we encourage our students to do their best every day. We hope your child will participate in our SPIRIT WEEK events leading up to the start of our assessment window!
Your partners in education,
Mrs. Kristin Reingruber, Principal
Dr. Carla Braun, Assistant Principal
