The month of March brings full 5 day weeks of learning opportunities for our teachers and students. During March, our upper grades will be doing a lot of test preparation to get our students ready for taking the Ohio State Tests. While these tests are important for measuring student achievement, and rating us on our school report card, we prefer to think of these tests as one data point. We use those scores in conjunction with many other data points to get a full picture of student progress and abilities. We continue to emphasize the importance of using our online learning program- i-Ready. I-Ready is tailored to each student's personalized learning needs. The lessons they are assigned are specific to what your student needs to move to the next level of learning. The expectation is that every student passes 2 l;essons every week in Reading and in Math. If you need help monitoring your students' lesson passage, please reach out to the teacher and we are happy to help you.Many important lessons, assessments and events take place during the months of March and April. This makes it so important that students are attending school consistently. If your student must be absent due to illness, please remember to call them off to the office and to collect the missed assignments to be made up.
