Teacher Appreciation Week
For those that may not know, Teacher Appreciation Week is May 7th - 11th. Although we appreciate the hard work and dedication of our teachers all throughout the school year, we may not always take the time to say “thank you.” The teachers here at K.C. Ling and Hemlock Elementary are some of the finest educators around. Their impact on your children extends far beyond the classroom, and I am sure you will agree that their efforts are appreciated more than words can express.
M-STEP Testing
Next week, our 3rd and 4th grade students will be taking the state assessment called the Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP). As the spring testing window approaches, the teachers here at K.C. Ling Elementary have been working hard to help prepare the students for the M-STEP by taking time to work on the state-released practice items and to increase their comfort level with the technology-enhanced features of the test. The vast majority of our students will be taking the tests online. 3rd and 4th grade students will be administered tests in ELA and Math. Informational parent letters, with specific testing dates/times, were sent home with each 3rd and 4th grade student. If you have any questions regarding M-STEP testing, please feel free to contact me at 989-642-5235.
