Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Dragons will begin taking the IAR state assessments for Reading and Math on Wednesday, March 5th! This is the required state test for Illinois and composes 75% of our school report card score. We will test the mornings of: March 5th & 6th March 11th, 12th, & 13th It is very important that students are not only at school each day but are also at school on time. Once testing begins, students will not be allowed to enter their classrooms, which means they will have to test later in an unfamiliar environment. We want our Dragons to do their absolute best! So, we need to see them bright and early BEFORE 8:30 each morning! We need students to be in 100% attendance and on time each day of testing. Lastly, please help your students BREATHE each day of testing: Breathe deeply. Rest well the night before. Eat a healthy breakfast. Always read the test directions. Take your time. No need to rush. (Students will be rewarded for not rushing through the test). Have confidence in yourself to do your very best. Energize by stretching during breaks. Thank you for your support these next two weeks! 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Teams
