KS State Assessments Making a Difference! Students in Grades 3-8 and some high school will begin their State Reading Assessments on Monday, March 8. Students, paras, and teachers have been working very hard to be prepared so that they can “Make a Difference” by performing their best on the assessments. Parents and guardians, you can help us by ensuring that your child has a good night’s rest, eats a healthy breakfast at home or at school, and encouraging your children to do their best. Testing will continue through mid April. We will post testing updates as we progress through the reading, math, and science assessments this spring. |

If you are interested in participating in this project, stop in and pick an item from a pocket. Attach the slip to the item, sign your name on the Donated By line and drop the item off in the office. We will place the item in the staff member’s mailbox. We’ve had several “Pick Pockets” already and so appreciate all that you do help us! |
