February 2021 News
End of February.... What?!
With March on the horizon, our third graders are gearing up to take their IREAD3 test and 3rd - 5th will be starting the practice assessments for ILEARN. The kids and teachers have been prepping for this all year, and soon students will be able to show what they know! While it is easy to get caught up in the thinking that these tests define your child as a learner, I encourage you to remember that this is one test and it doesn't define anyone! We want all of our students to put forth their best effort, but not to stress about the test. So if these tests come up at home, encourage your children to just do their best and know that regardless of their score, we are proud of their hard work!

Please save your Strack & Van Til receipts for their Apples to Students program. Receipts dated September 1, 2020 through March 1, 2021. Please send them to school to be placed in the box in the office.
There is also a box in the office for Box Tops to be turned in. Most of the Box Tops can now be submitted via the Box Top app on your phone.
Yearbook is always needing pictures for the candid photos and this year is proving to be difficult to get those. Remote learners need to be included too! So if you have a remote learner at home, please send candid photos of them. Also, we are in need of portrait style photos of any students that did not have their pictures taken on school picture day. If you have any you would like to submit, please send them to cookscornersyb@gmail.com. Order forms for this year's yearbook have been sent home. Please send those back in or order online as soon as possible to reserve your copy of the 2020-2021 yearbook.
Next meeting will be March 3, 2021 at 6:00 pm via Zoom. Watch your email for the link.
