Project Parkway Needs Your Feedback
Carman Parents,
For the past few months, Parkway has been seeking feedback on our master facilities plan so we can address the ongoing maintenance and repair needs of our aging buildings. Our community has said it’s important to protect our investment and property values with schools that are up-to-date and in good working condition. In March, we shared a draft proposal for future school building improvement projects. We appreciate the amazing support and interest from the 250 parents and staff who attended this meeting! Now, we need your help to review our updated plans based on the feedback we have received.
Join us on May 4 at Central High from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. for the Project Parkway Community Meeting to be the first to see the final project proposal we intend to take to our Board of Education for consideration.
It is MAP testing season!
Elementary-aged students in grades 3-5 in the state of Missouri are all required to take the MAP test to measure their learning progress. The structure for testing this year throughout the state looks like last year’s assessments because all students will be taking the test on the computer.
2022 CARMAN TRAILS TESTING SCHEDULE:
5th Grade: May 9-12th (Mon.-Thurs.)
3rd and 4th Grade: May 16th-19th (Mon-Thurs.)
As you know, students are best ready to learn when their minds and bodies are well rested, well fed, and they come to school prepared to persevere. We ask that you please help your child be best prepared as you do every day for learning in the following ways:
· Be Here. This year our MAP “window” is later in the school year. The last two weeks contain exciting end of the year activities for students and therefore, attendance each day is vital so that students do not miss instructional time or end of the year activities making up tests they missed.
· Be sure your child gets about 10 hours of sleep each night.
· Help your child make healthy food choices.
· Keep a homework and bedtime routine and stick to it.
· Practice having a positive attitude even when things are not easy.
Sincerely,
Tracy Kiso – Carman Trails MAP Testing Coordinator
