The Sixth Scoop
Nichols News, 17th edition

Dear 6th Grade Families,
As we approach the final week before the holiday break, I want to share a few important updates and reminders to help ensure a smooth and productive week for everyone.
MAP Testing Makeups
If your child has not yet completed their MAP test, this will be their last opportunity to do so. These assessments are crucial for us to understand how best to support your child’s learning. We use the results to guide instruction during our WIN (What I Need) time in math and ELA, as well as to inform additional academic supports tailored to your child’s needs. Please encourage your child to do their best and ensure they are well-rested and prepared for their makeup test.
Outdoor Recess Reminder
The weather this week is projected to be warmer, which means we will continue our practice of going outside for recess as long as the "real feel" temperature is 20 degrees or above, and there is no precipitation or overly wet grounds. Please make sure your child has appropriate outdoor gear to comfortably enjoy 20 minutes of outdoor play. Hats, gloves, and warm jackets are recommended to keep them cozy.
Contact Information for Monday and Tuesday
I will be out of town on Monday and Tuesday celebrating my father’s birthday with family in North Carolina. If you have any urgent concerns or outstanding issues during those days, please reach out to Ms. Fishman, who will be happy to assist you.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s make this last week before the break a great one!
Warm regards,
Ms. Brunson
Evanston Illinois Welcoming Center
