Week of 9/28

We are starting ITBS testing on Moday, 9/28. These tests will last for approximately two weeks. While your student can't study for these tests, there are some things that will help him/her have a positive testing experience.
  • Be present and on time. We will test in the mornings before recess. Please don't miss school unless it is absolutely necessary. Make-up ITBS tests will take away from other academic class time.
  • Eat breakfast! It's like putting gas in the car. Kids do better academically when they've had a nutritious breakfast.
  • Encourage them to try their best.

We will still be doing other classwork, although with a lightened schedule. Homework will still be assigned as well.

Spelling words: mystery, even, week, video, least, secret, seem, many, mean, busy, asleep, family, lucky, deep, speak, idea.
