Testing Begins this Week!

We will begin M-Step testing on Wednesday this week.  Please be sure your child’s computer is fully charged the night before.  In addition, please ensure they get plenty of rest and a good breakfast the morning of the test.  Students have as much time as they need to take this test. Headphones will also be required for some tests.

M-STEP Information- 5th graders take 4 M-STEP tests (ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies) starting the week of April 18th-May 20th. We will take one assessment a week on each Wednesday. Please try to encourage good sleeping habits and eat a good breakfast before each test to help your child focus their best on their test. Please try to limit absences on these days, because making up these test sessions is difficult. I will allow SUGAR FREE GUM during these tests and will collect any gum donations ahead of time.

Spring Weather

As temperatures begin to warm up, please remind your child that they will need a coat for recess if the temperature has not reached 60 degrees.  If they are playing and get warm, they are asked to tie their coat around their waist. As the weather starts to warm up, please be sure students are dressed appropriately. Clothing that exposes underwear or too much skin is prohibited. This includes midriff tops.
