Spring Conferences
Thank you to all of the parents who attended conferences! We had a wonderful turnout. It was great to see our Kindergarten-6th grade students share growth with their parents. We appreciate your support and as always, please contact your child's teacher with any questions or concerns.
Illinois Assessment of Readiness
All 3rd-6th grade students will take the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR), April 8th-April 12th. The students will take three ELA units and three math units. The 5th grade students will also take the Illinois Science Assessment on April 23rd. Please try to avoid scheduling appointments during these times.
It is important the students arrive on time and have a healthy breakfast before testing. Students may also bring healthy snacks to have during the testing window.
