4th Grade Families
We recently received word from our intermediate school partners about changes to the plans for our 4th grade students transitioning to 5th grade next year. This year, the district is challenged with not having enough drivers for study trips/transition visits. This is compounded by the dates of various required assessments (ILEARN testing/makeups are April 18 through May 13, NWEA is May 9-May 17) as well as the date that school dismisses for the summer (May 20). After working through various options for scheduling, we were not able to find a date that would work for all the schools involved. This year, our 4th grade students will have the following opportunities to prepare for the transition to intermediate school and 5th grade:
- Welcome Tour/Videos
- All intermediate videos will be shared with the elementary school on May 9th.
- 4th grade classrooms will view the video from the school they will be attending next year.
- These videos will be shared with families to view at home.
- There will not be an evening parent visit this spring.
- Intermediate School “Open House”
- All intermediate schools will have a time available for families to tour the building independently. Watch for communication from your student’s intermediate school on the timing of that open house.
- Meet the Teacher
- First full week of school as normal
- Specific time for families to hear about their student’s team, classroom, and school focuses/expectations.
- Look for communication from your student’s intermediate school with details on the specific date and time for this event.
Fishers Elementary School is having College/Career exploration starting next week through the end of April. If you are interested in talking with your child's class about your job or career, please let the teacher know asap!
Here are some ways you can get involved:
- Schedule a time to come in and talk with the class
- Make a short video that the teacher could share about your job/ career
- Set up a zoom call with the class.
- Send in some information to the teacher about your job/career
Some things that you could talk about are the skills your job requires, what kind of education is required to have your job, what a day on your job looks like, or anything else that can get the students thinking about their futures.
We would love to have a wide variety of jobs and careers represented for our students so please consider getting involved!
We will also have a spirit week to celebrate our College and Career learning.
