Main Road Weekly Update
September 6, 2024
Weekly News
This week was filled with celebration and learning across our school community. On Monday, we proudly recognized National 4th Graders Day, honoring the hard work and growth of our fourth-grade students. We also had a fantastic turnout for National Hat Day, which raised $107.00 for our PTO—thank you to our families and students for supporting this fun day.
As we move further into January, mid-year testing is underway. Students will begin the i-Ready Diagnostic assessments as early as next week, which provide valuable insight into student progress and help guide instruction. Results will be available for families to view in the Parent Portal on February 6th.
Finally, we wish all of our families a safe, restful, and enjoyable long weekend, with no school on Friday and Monday as we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
For January, the core value that aligns with Main Road School is Empathy. Students will earn Inverso Incentive dollars this month by showing empathy. These dollars will be cashed in weekly during their lunch at the Inverso Emporium.
Please feel free to reach out to the PTO with any fundraising ideas you may have, as well as opportunities to get involved within our school community. Our next PTO Meeting will be Tuesday, December 9th at 7:00 PM.
Please refer to the Realtime Parent Portal to look at updated grades as it is now the end of the trimester. The end of Trimester 1 is December 4th and grades will be posted for parents on the Realtime Parent Portal December 11th at 12 PM.

Parent Pickup Protocol
To make parent pickup as smooth as possible, please send in a note, or call/email the school secretary, Mrs. Bilinski, prior to 2:00 PM that day.
Parents/guardians must communicate directly with the Main Office to ensure pick up goes as planned and we can be prepared for your arrival with your child ready. Dojo messages to teachers are not always relayed in time, so we do advise you communciate directy with the office through various modes of communication.
Dismissal pickup begins at 2:50 so please arrive timely.
Teachers will acccess Classdojo as a mode of daily communication. Email is still preferred method of communication regarding specific instances when the teacher needs to be contacted. Please allow 24 hours for teachers to fully respond, as response time will be delayed during instructional hours.
