I am so proud of the kids
who took the Smarter Balanced Assessment this week. They were
OUTSTANDING! Thank you to everyone for helping us pull this off - there
are a lot of moving parts. If your child shares that they are mentally
exhausted, you can certainly believe them! Once again, this week's
note is chock full of information:

Smarter Balanced Starts Monday
If your child is in the following classrooms, they will have SBAC testing all of next week: Lovering/Kelly, Facques/Mazella, & Cleghorn/Hayward. We have 3 requests:
- Students will need a pair of earbuds Monday – Friday. The teachers will keep them safe.
- Please make sure your child has a healthy breakfast
- A good night’s rest is also helpful
The assessment is not meant to add anxiety. Students should simply do their best and know that we are behind them 100%.
Q3 Report Cards - ACTION ITEM
This
is it! Our first attempt at digital Report Cards. If all goes
according to plan, simply log into the Parent Portal and click on the
Report Card (left column) . It should generate a pdf. NOTE: Teachers
usually have a "preview" day to look at paper copies to check for
errors. If your child's report card has an error, please notify their
teacher. Clerical mistakes can be easily fixed.
