This Week at Utsalady
Dear Utsalady Families and Friends,
We had a great return from spring break. Students were happy to see their friends and be back in classrooms learning. This time of year is very exciting for students. There are new things to learn, field trips, fun activities and so much more. Keep reading for information about our Spring Concert and Fusion. I am looking forward to a wonderful spring.
Benchmark Assessments

Next week grades 3, 4, 5 will participate in MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) assessments for reading and math. In May grades 3-5 participate in the Smarter Balanced Assessment state test. Grades K, 1, 2 take the AIMSweb assessments for reading.

Skyward Access - Secure Passwords Information

Starting on Wednesday, April 19th, families who use Skyward will be asked to create a new, more secure password when they login. Similarly, students will move to a more robust password as well.
