Dear Parents,
Next week our Old Friends will be taking the OLSAT test. This is an ability test that measures verbal, quantitative, and figural reasoning skills. This test is used as one of the criteria for determining placement for the extended curriculum students in middle school. There is no way to study for the test, however we would like to encourage our Old Friends to eat a great breakfast on Wednesday morning. The test will be given during math on Wednesday, October 14.
I’m looking forward to parent/teacher conferences that are coming up quickly. Thank you to those parents who already completed the online “Conference Planning Form.” Your feedback is very important to my conference preparation.
Have a nice long weekend!Michelle Barrett

We are so impressed with how hard our students are working to becoming confident solving multiplication problems the “old school” way! Next as will dive into geometry exploring angle measures, practice measures angles using a protractor, and analyze geometric properties of polygons.
