Dear Parents and Students,

It’s hard to believe that we are already halfway through the school year! During the month of February, we are conducting our mid-year assessments (NWEA) for all students. These tests will show us how much academic progress your child has made in the areas of Math, Reading, Language Arts, and Science. As well, these tests will guide teachers towards best practices and provide the most constructive learning environment and opportunity for each individual student to grow in their learning. Additionally, this data is often used to help students set goals and understand what they need to learn to achieve their goals. Our testing windows will close at the end of the month.

Parent, I encourage you to have conversations with your children about their testing; how is it going for them, and do they have any questions or concerns. In addition, it would be great if you could encourage your child to engage with some effective educational websites such as; Prep Dog, Khan Academy, Clever, Moby Max, IXL and more! These websites encourage students to play games while strengthening their skills in all subjects. As a team, let’s make learning fun!

Thank you,

Mrs. Ankouni
