MAEIS Weekly Update
TESTING SEASON!
It's GAME TIME!
I know this season can be stressful, but really it's about our kids being taught all year and being ready for the big game. Time for our kids to shine and really show what they know!!! I hope you're as excited as I am to see all the great learning that has happened.
Like every game, there will be surprises. One incredibly gifted student will surprise you and not show all they can really do. And in that same game, one of the students you don't think is as strong, will blow you away.
Instead of being stressed, be excited. Get our kids excited. Many students will be affected with schedule changes that we need to work with from changes with PE and Music to Sp. Ed. services. If you are unsure of what changes will look like for you, please contact myself, Brian, specialists or Sp. Ed. instructors.
Media Centers will be closed during testing at both sites. MAES will be closed from 8:30-11:30 and MAIS will be closed T-Th. In addition, all offices, small rooms, nooks and crannies are testing areas. Testing days are Tuesday and Wednesday 4/17 and 4/18 as well as 4/24 and 4/25. MAIS Media Center is a staging area for those testing at different times on T-W as well as a testing space for small groups. On Thursday it will be where we work to finish assessments.
With all this said, a HUGE THANK YOU to Brian Gruber as he's worked diligently to make sure this season goes better than any other. We are so fortunate to be better prepared than we ever have been at this point!
