First Week SUCCESS!
Kindergarten students came only one day this week, but join us full time on Monday! Kindergarten teachers will be outside in the car lane Monday to help get all K students to the auditorium. Please see arrival and dismissal reminders below.
MAP Testing and Chromebooks
MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) is a nationally-normed, computerized test, provided to all Anderson 5 students in grades K-5. It assesses students in the areas of math and reading and allows our teachers to identify specific areas of strength and areas for improvement. Teachers use this information to prepare small group instruction on each child's ability level in both reading and math.
Parents will receive information about your child's score in the weeks after testing.
We are MAP testing this coming week, so on the day before your child's MAP test, your child's teacher will be keeping their chromebook at school so it will be charged and ready.
The MAP testing schedule is below. Please ensure your child is well-rested, well-fed and on time for school, especially on their MAP testing day.
Tuesday, Aug. 24: 3rd-5th Grade Reading Test
Wednesday, Aug. 25: 3rd-5th Grade Math Test
Thursday, Aug. 26: K-2 Reading Test
Friday, Aug. 27: K-2 Math Test
For further questions, please email your child's teacher.
Spirit Days
In addition, students can pay $1 to wear a HAT to school! 100% of all proceeds benefit March for Babies.
Our first Spirit Day is Friday, August 27.
We used to sell Wainani Shaved Ice on Spirit Days, however we will be discontinuing this for now. We hope to start back up very soon!
School Merchandise Orders
All orders are to be placed by September 2. You can have your items delivered to your house or sent to us at the school. We will give the order to your child to bring home.
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
You can HELP make traffic move more quickly and safety by helping us with the following:
ARRIVAL -
- Do not let your child out of the car prior to the doors opening at 7:15 am.
- Please stay off of your phones while in the car line.
- The left lane is NOT to be used for dropping students off. This is very dangerous! If you get in the left lane, you must drive through the lane to the front parking lot.
- Use the right lane to drop students off at the sidewalk.
- If you arrive after 8:00, you have to come to park, walk in and sign your child in. Do not send siblings in with your child.
- All children must be ready to get out, with their bookbags, when they arrive. Parents are not allowed to get out of the car while in the car line for any reason. If you need to park and get out, you must pull around to the front of the school and walk your child in.
DISMISSAL -
- Please stay off of your phones while in the car line.
- We dismiss at 2:30. If you arrive after 2:50, you may have to come to the front office and come inside to get your child.
- At 3:00 all students are considered a 'late dismissal'.
- Please remember to pull all the way to the car in front of you. Do not leave large gaps in the line. We try to load as many cars as we can at a time.
- Please keep your car tag in your rear view mirror until your child gets into the car. This helps us to get them out quickly.
