MStep testing

Dear Snow Families

It’s that time of year again! We will begin the M-Step assessment (which is state mandated) after the break. To ensure an optimum testing environment, we need your support. Here are some suggestions:

Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep

Have your child eat a healthy breakfast

Please get your child to school on time

Send a healthy snack to school with your child

Encourage your child to do their best

We want your child’s M-Step experience to be as relaxed and stress free as possible. Students will not be tested for long periods of time. Testing sessions will be short and breaks will be given as needed.

Fifth graders will begin testing the week of April 8th

Fourth grade will begin the week of April 29th

Third grade will begin testing the week of May 6th

Thank you for your support!

أولياء أمور طلاب ابتدائية سنو الكرام،

في هذا الوقت من السنة مرة أخرى! سنبدأ تقييم M-Step (امتحان الولاية الأساسي) بعد عطلة الربيع. لضمان بيئة اختبار مثالية ، نحتاج إلى دعمكم. هذه بعض الاقتراحات:

تأكد من حصول طفلك على نوم جيد ليلاً.

اجعل طفلك يتناول وجبة فطور صحية.

يرجى إحضار طفلك إلى المدرسة في الوقت المحدد.

إرسال وجبة خفيفة صحية إلى المدرسة مع طفلك.

شجع طفلك على بذل قصارى جهده.

نريد أن تكون تجربة M-Step لطفلك مريحة وخالية من الإجهاد قدر الإمكان. لن يتم اختبار الطلاب لفترات طويلة من الزمن. ستكون جلسات الاختبار قصيرة وسيتم توفير فترات راحة حسب الحاجة.

سيبدأ طلاب الصف الخامس الاختبار في أسبوع الثامن من نيسان\ أبريل

سيبدأ طلاب الصف الرابع الاختبار في أسبوع التاسع و العشرين من نيسان\ أبريل

سيبدأ طلاب الصف الثالث الاختبار في أسبوع السادس من أيار\ مايو

شكرا لدعمكم!

Morning line up

Good morning,

There are students who are at school prior to 8:25am without supervision.  For the sake of safety, please drop your child off no earlier than 8:25am.  There is no ball playing before school. If your child comes for breakfast, please make sure they go straight to the cafeteria no earlier than 8:15am.  Thank you in advance.  

Have a safe Spring Break.

Thank you,

Week of March 25th- March 29th

Just a reminder there is no school April 1 through the 5th for Spring Break.

Just reminder all missing work is due tomorrow. I will not grade any missing assignments after Tuesday March 26th.

There’ll be a science test on Tuesday March 26th.

Reminder that students should be completing at least 2 lessons on Zearn.org per week.

Students should be reading at least 30 minutes every night and filling out their Reading Logs.  Students must do their Reading Bag assignments daily to keep up on class.

There will be no homework over spring break. I do expect everyone to go on zearn and Iready to keep them practicing for our testing when we return.

On Tuesday, April 9 we will be doing our first session of MSTEP testing.

If you received a paper for parent teacher conference, please make sure to sign up on the sign up genius link I sent home. If you did not receive one I do not need to meet with you. I do not have any extra room only the ones that I am requesting to see are the only time slots I have available.

Week of March 18th-22nd

Pizza kits money and forms are due Thursday..
Today: Flutes
Tuesday: clarinet, saxophones, and trumpets
Wednesday: Percussion
Thursday: Strings
Friday: No Instrument

Spring Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, April 10th.  If you do not receive an invitation from me, then you do not need to attend conferences.  I only have enough slots to see certain families. All other families who receive an invitation need to sign up for a time slot on the SignUp Genius Link that was already sent home.

Just a reminder that it is your child’s responsibility to turn in all late and missing work (even if a student has been absent).  Incomplete work will affect your child’s report card grades.

Students are expected to complete 2 lessons on Zearn.org each week.  Any student that has not completed the assigned work will spend inside recess/free time catching up with the rest of the class.  Students are given time in class to complete their Zearn lessons, however many students are falling behind and must complete the assignments at home.
