IAR Testing Begins This Week
The testing window for grades 3-5 opens on Tuesday. 4th and 5th grade will test in the morning and 3rd grade will test in the afternoon. I provided a link to the IAR Folder that holds important information that you can all access. You can find the testing schedule, specials schedule, Chromebook cart schedule, as well as other information.
Open gym will begin with 5th grade on Tuesday morning. Students will be asked to enter Door #11 at 8:30am and will be sent back outside to line up at 9:00am. If you are interested in volunteering, please click on the sign-up sheet in the IAR folder.
Reminders as the Weather Begins to Change
-Extra recess should not take place the last 30 minutes of the school day.
-Extra recess should not take place 30 mins before/after students go outside for their scheduled recess.
-You are encouraged to take your class outside for learning activities. We have a plethora of space around the building that provides instructional opportunities for a variety of lessons across all disciplines. Be sure to contact the office if you leave the building with your class.
