Week of September 4-8

Parents:  Please make sure your child has headphones or earbuds that can stay in his/her desk all year long!  This will be especially important when we complete some diagnostic assessments.  Thank you for your help! 

iReady Testing will begin this week!  

The most important thing we can do is prepare students and motivate them to put forth their best effort during the test. To help prepare your child for the i-Ready Diagnostic, encourage them to

● Get a good night's sleep and eat a full breakfast on the day(s) of the assessment.

● Try their best on each question and try not to rush.

● Remember this test is adaptive!  You should try your best but know that you'll get questions you don't know how to answer.
