Water Presentation
A representative from the GISD is scheduled to present the Supporting Children and Families During the Flint Water Crisis presentation to elementary staff on Tuesday, March 22, 2016 at 4:30 p.m. in the Auditorium at Carman-Ainsworth Middle School. This presentation is geared for elementary staff. We have nearly 40 students (12%) of the students at Rankin impacted by this. I suspect the number will only grow as families move to other areas outside of Flint and we will continue to be impacted by the effects of the water crisis. If you are available please try to attend.

STAR Testing & Quarterly Testing
The STAR testing window has opened. 1st through 5th grade can use their computer lab time to test. It can be any time within the testing window of now thru Spring Break, April 1. I would suggest this week for testing. We will complete Kindergarten testing on Wednesday March 23rd. Remember you have math quarterly assessments and that window is next week through the 1st.
CAHS Marching Band March through
The HS Band will be conducting a “march through” on Monday at approximately 10:25. They are traveling to all the buildings so this is an approximate time….The office will “announce” when they get here and you are welcome to have your students line the hallway outside your classroom to watch them march through. They will come in the east end hallway doors (by 5th grade classrooms) and travel down the hallway to the gymnasium and then circle around the gym and make a return trip back down the hallway. Last year they stopped and played a song in the gymnasium for the students in the gym. Rooms 10, 11 and 12 are welcome to line up in front of the gym or in the gymnasium as they will not travel past the gym. I’m a band mom so, of course, I love the loud marching band as they march through; however, the students also love them and it’s nice to see former Rankin students!

Retentions
If you are considering any students for retention please send me an email with their name(s) or write them on a post-it note. As I mentioned at the Late Start meeting, I will need to get student retention information over to the administration building soon so I would like to have this information gathered this week so I have it when it is requested.
