REPORT CARD MEETINGS MARCH 22- NO SCHOOL TOMORROW
3rd Quarter Report Card meetings are set for TOMORROW Friday, March 22. Parents still have the opportunity to select a convenient time to meet with your student's teacher. Keeping in mind that this is an opportunity for teachers and parents to simply touch base face-to-face, each meeting has been allotted a short amount of time. Should concerns arise, parents and teachers are encouraged to schedule a formal conference for further discussion at the conclusion of the report card meeting.
Report cards not picked up tomorrow will be sent home with the student on Monday. REMINDER, there will be NO SCHOOL TOMORROW, Friday, March 22.
***Supervised childcare will be available in the Cafeteria for ICCS students while parents are meeting with teachers during designated conference times.
For more information, please call (337) 433-3497.

ACT ASPIRE TESTING-MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
ACT Aspire Testing Dates: Monday, April 1 - Tuesday, April 11

4th & 5th: 4/3, 4/4, 4/8

STANDARDIZED TESTING - Why do we test?
Though no one test can adequately measure a child's performance, these tests provide us with an opportunity to take a close look at how the students as a group are performing and to consider strengthening the curriculum in areas where improvement is desired. We continually seek the best instructional methods for educating our students. As we look at the areas that need improvement, we will continue to use Cooperative Learning strategies to improve our instructional methods.
