Dear LSE Family,
NWEA Assessments have began for all students this week!
The assessment window runs through December 5th - December 16th. It is extremely important students are at school on time for their assessments in their classrooms. You should have heard from classroom teachers when their particular classrooms will be taking assessments. It is extremely important students come to school with fully charged chromebooks as the assessments are completed through an assessment portal on their chromebooks. All students are required to take these assessments so if they are absent, they must be made up.
Please reach out to your child's teacher with any questions! Each student has a personal goal for the winter benchmark in both reading and math. We cannot wait to see how awesome they do and celebrate their successes!
We also have a super exciting Math Night planned for this upcoming week! We hope to see lots of students and families come join us to learn math games and strategies, storytime in our library and just some good family fun! Come join us Thursday December 15th!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tracy Sanders, Principal
