See translation information below / Consulte la información de traducción a continuación.
Greetings,
Welcome to the month of November. Please remember, this weekend is the end of daylight savings time and we turn our clocks back by one hour. Let’s enjoy the extra hour and have a great week and a great month.
A couple of reminders this week:
- CogAT Universal Screening: You have received information about a tool used in SLP called the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) that measures reasoning and problem-solving skills. Online students in third and fourth grade will be taking the CogAT screener on Wednesday, November 10, at the District Services Center. Please call me if you have any questions about this assessment.
- Attendance line: Call the attendance line, 763-600-5209, to report student absences due to illness, appointments, and vacation.
Please continue to reach out to your child’s learner advocate or to me with any questions or concerns, kfehri@district16.org or 763-600-5057
Take care,
Kimberly Fehringer
