NWEA Testing This Week!
We know today was tough for some of you trying to get into the NWEA practice test. While we know it can be frustrating, please be patient as we work out the kinks and device issues. If for any reason you continue to have problems while testing tomorrow, let the teacher know and we can always schedule another time for your child while we work out the bugs. Also, an important reminder that when your child is taking the test, do not help him or her solve the problems. The purpose of this assessment is to determine where they are at academically so that we can best support them instructionally. Similar to the iReady math diagnostic, the test is adaptive, meaning that the questions adjust to how the student is answering; if the student misses so many items in a row, the questions will start to get easier. If the student answers them correctly, the questions will get harder. It's important that students answer the questions themselves so we know their current level. Both iReady and NWEA will create individual learning paths for students to work on independently, and if you help students with the answers, their learning paths will not be appropriate for their instructional level. Thank you!
Good morning! Today is Monday, August 31st and check out our weekly announcements, including birthdays, below! Have a great week!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is student material pick up in the parking lot. Students will receive their Welcome Back Bag with all of the materials and resources they will need to start the school year Monday! It will be a drive through pick up and we ask that you wear a mask and bring your own pen to fill out any forms that still need to be completed. If you requested a device last week, you will be able to pick it up at Door 7 on Oliver Street. Pick up hours are 9-12 and 1-4. ALL students must pick up their Welcome Back Bag so they are ready to roll on Monday morning! See you tomorrow!
