ILEARN THIS WEEK
Happy Week 2 of ILEARN! All SMS students will take an ILEARN (CAT, non-PT) language arts test on Tuesday and 6th graders will take their PT language arts tests Wednesday and Thursday.
Tuesday's LA computer-adapted test (CAT, non-PT) is just like the longer math test we took last week. The test is UNTIMED and is expected to take about 90-100 minutes. We'll all start in the morning and use our iPads. All students will be assessed on some listening questions and earbuds/headphones will be required. Students can use their own earbuds OR they can use a set provided by SMS. One hour after we start the test we'll all take a stretch break before we get back at it. Students that do not complete the test in the time allotted will finish the test later in the afternoon or in elective on Wednesday morning.
Sixth graders will take their LA performance-task (PT) tests on Wednesday and Thursday. There are two parts to this test and we'll take one each day. Each part is 50-70 minutes and students will be able to take this test on iPads or on Macs. This test is also untimed so students can finish that afternoon or the next day if needed. Seventh and eighth graders will take the LA PT tests in the next two weeks.
Good luck to test takers this week!

Class of 2023 News
The dance apparel typically ranges from school casual to semi-formal. Some students wear school clothes, and others dress up more with spring dresses, khaki pants/collared shirt, or dress pants/shirt and tie. Students are discouraged from wearing long prom gowns or tuxedos. An Evening at Paris is not a prom!
Students may possess and use cell phones during the dance. Instead of a photo booth, attendees will have a class picture taken and the student council will provide a free copy to all attendees!
The dance is for SMS 8th graders only. Students must attend class all day on May 31st to qualify. Students that receive discipline for aggressive acts or peer conflicts between now and the dance will not be allowed to attend. Questions about participation can be directed to Miss Nass or Mr. Smith.
