                                                          Please read this letter from Mrs. Knuth: As we prepare for our M-STEP  tests to begin next week, we would like to make you aware of important information regarding technology. Please note that during the M-STEP testing, all electronic devices, including cell phones, smart watches, and Bluetooth headphones (or any headphones not used for testing), must be turned off and stored away from the work area.  Because of this, we encourage you to keep phones and smart watches at home on testing days. If your student brings one of these devices to school, the device should remain in the backpack and be powered off. Any devices that are not in backpacks will be collected by the teacher and stored in the teacher's area until testing is completed. Thank you for your assistance wit...

                                                          Thank you for all of the kindness you shared for Paraprofessional Appreciation Week last week! Mr. O & Ms. Jen sure felt the love! For those of you who are interest ed in having your child work on math at home, last week we covered unit 6/lessons 20-24 on division & will be testing on unit 6 this week. This week we will be moving on to unit 7 on geometry. Practice using the IXL textbook would be beneficial to understanding this new concept of lines, angles, shapes, etc. before NWEA/MStep testing. Please send kids with boots or a change of shoes for muddy days at recess. The  boots/shoes  can stay in student lockers so they don't have to bring them back & forth each day.  Our student council Coins for Community fundraiser begins this week. Students are encourage...
