May 8-12

It's early to already be thinking about next week, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew the testing schedule early on.

Again, I am very proud of how hard these students are working.  They are testing for over 1 1/2 hours and it is taxing on them.  They don't complain and approach each test with an amazing attitude.

Tests next week:
Tuesday, May 9th: ISAT test - Math
Wednesday, May 10th: Mrs. George's class will take the Math MAP test
Thursday, May 11th: Mrs. Bingham's class will take the Math MAP test

Tuesday is the last ISAT test for 6th graders.  The Math MAP test gives students an opportunity to show their growth from the fall until now.  Students who score well on it will have the option of skipping their Math Final.

Also, Friday May 12th is Science Night from 3:30-5:30.  Students need to come and represent their group for at least 20 minutes during that time.  All projects will be displayed in D2.

Lock-in update

Dear Parents and 6th grade students,

Hello!  The Lock-in is fast approaching in a few days.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to fill all the required chaperone time slots.  With that fact, along with a couple of other unforeseen circumstances, the lock-in ending time will now be at midnight and will not be an overnight event.  All the planned evening activities will be the same up until midnight. Your child can leave their sleeping bags and pillows and personal electronic devices at home.  Please plan on picking your child up in the gym instead of the classrooms promptly at midnight.  Thank you to all those who will be chaperoning that evening.

May 1-5

I am very proud of how the 6th graders handled their first ISAT exam of the year.  They had a wonderful attitude.  They did their best and they were respectful of each other.  I know these testing days can be taxing and they are doing amazing!

Next week is a big week for 6th graders.  They have two more ISAT tests and then on Friday, the 5th, they have their lock-in.  If you would like to volunteer for any part of the lock-in, you may contact Mrs. Boothby, shereeboothby@visioncsd.org.  Just a reminder, ALL permission slips must be turned in by May 4th.

May 1: ISAT test - math performance task

May 2: ISAT test - language arts 

May 5: Lock in

Please be sure students get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy breakfast and come to school on time to create the best environment for them.

April 24 - 28

Students will have their first ISAT test this week.  It will take place on Thursday, April 27th.  Be sure that students get a good night's rest and have a healthy breakfast.  I know they will do great.

Most of this week, students will be working on finalizing some projects they have for their other classes.  We are doing everything we can to provide students the opportunity to complete these projects in class.
