Spring Benchmark Testing
Our next round of AIMS web testing will be May 7- May 18. We would appreciate any and all assistance for this last round of testing in the library! The SWAT team approach during library times is still our goal! :) Classroom teachers are expected to help test their students' fluency. If you have not yet sent Michelle/Paulette your AIMS date please do so ASAP.
Our Fountas & Pinnell reading benchmarking testing will need to be completed by May 18. Please share kits so that everyone can finish benchmarking on time. If you need additional time please feel free to take until May 25.
Please update all of your google docs so that we have finalized information for next year. We will be starting interventions much earlier next year since we will have the data available. We will use this year's current RtI groups and services to begin our year next year.
After School Clubs
Blood Drive
Our next blood drive is scheduled for Tuesday, May 15th, from 3:30-7:30 in the Elementary Gym. In addition to helping others, all participants receive a coupon for free Culver's custard! We hope you will consider stopping by and joining us that day.
