Welcome Back!!
I hope everyone had a restful and fun Spring Break. We are in the home stretch now, just 38 more school days to go. Hard to believe! And we have so much to pack into those days....so here we go!!
ILEARN Testing
3rd graders will complete the ILEARN test on the mornings of April 15 - 18 (Monday - Thurs.). Please make every effort to be here those days in order to avoid make-up testing. 2nd graders will be in an alternate space with activities to complete while we test.
These tests are much different than the IREAD test we took in March.....there are four tests (2 math, 2 English/lang. arts), and they are longer, more rigorous, and require much more time, attention, typing, and thinking. That said, I approach this test like any other standardized exam: take your time, don't rush, do your best, and remember that it is just a test....it does not define you and isn't worth your worry. You are smart and we will get through this together. Most importantly, remember that you are so much more than a test score!
Eclipse Day!
Just a reminder....we are not in school next Monday, April 8 due to the solar eclipse. We will be learning a bit about this amazing event on Friday (this week), and students will come home with a viewing card (not glasses) that they can use to safely see the eclipse. Fingers crossed for clear weather!!
Biomes Project
Students will receive information about their next/last project of the year later this week. Stay tuned!
Attendance Line and Dismissal Changes
If your child is going to be absent from school, the office asks you to please call the Hershey Attendance Line at 765-269-8342. Also, if there is a change in your child's dismissal, please call the Hershey Office directly before 2:30 at 765-269-8280 rather than emailing the teacher(s).....we don't always check our email and don't want to miss anything. Thanks!!
