Hello Families,

Happy Sunday!

I hope you have enjoyed this beautiful Fall weekend. I love the Fall weather but I have a lot of spiders on my porch. I am told they keep the bugs away but I don't like spiders. 🕷️

This week, we will start our parent conferences. Please reach out to your child's teacher to set up a day and time if you have not heard from them. As always, I am looking forward to seeing you at school.

🎓Speaking of parents coming to school, we will officially begin the Parent GED program this week. YAY!

I have included a Poll below. Please respond. We want to hear from you. Please consider what time is best for you to come to events. One of our goals this year is to increase parent involvement.

Have a KIND week,

Mrs. Jordan

Lunch Visits

We would love parents to come in and eat school lunch with their children. Bringing outside restaurant food is strongly discouraged. We require parents to pre-schedule this with the teacher at least one day in advance. Thanks again for your understanding; this helps us keep a tight guard on safety.

Iowa Test

The CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test) measures a student's reasoning and ability to learn, while the Iowa Assessments (formerly Iowa Tests of Basic Skills or ITBS) measure a student's knowledge and skills in core academic subjects like reading, math, science, and social studies. Both are norm-referenced tests used in K-12 education, often combined to identify students for gifted programs, assess academic growth, and meet state requirements. The CogAT assesses potential and learning pace, while the Iowa Assessments assess achievement and content mastery.
