APRIL Huskie Howl
April 1, 2023
As we transition into April, we're gearing up for an important time of the year: end-of-year testing. These assessments provide valuable insights into our students' growth and achievements, helping us tailor our support to meet their needs effectively.
The upcoming tests include the ISATs, ISIP Reading, and ISTATION Math. Here's a brief overview:
- ISAT: Grades 3-5 will be assessed in English Language Arts, Math, and Science (for 5th grade). Testing will take place from April 22nd to May 8th.
- ISIP Reading: This assessment focuses on early reading skills, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, and is administered to students in grades K-3. Testing will be May 8th - May 16th.
- ISTATION Math: Covering a range of math concepts from number sense to algebraic thinking, this test is for students in grades K-5. Testing is scheduled from May 8th to May 16th.
To support your child's success during testing, we encourage you to ensure they get plenty of rest, eat a nutritious breakfast, and arrive at school on time. Your words of encouragement can also make a big difference, so feel free to send a note to your child's teacher.
Together, we can help our students feel confident and prepared to showcase their learning. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education.

April Reading Logs have been sent home! Remember to have your child read and get those turned in so they can be entered in the drawing for a free book.
As we are nearing the end of the school year, please check for any Library Books that may be "hiding" in your houses and get them turned in. Thank you.
We want your student at school! Attendance is so important to learning. A student who misses a single day loses 20% of the learning from that week.
Here are a few things to remember:
*Call the office or email sbeattendance@isd221.net to excuse your child if they are absent for any reason.
*If your child goes to the doctor, please ask for a note and submit it to the school. A doctor’s note will exempt an absence.
*We appreciate you calling the school and letting us know when your child is sick. While we mark the absence as excused, it is NOT exempt. These absences still count as absences. School attendance is vitally important to your child’s learning. We want your child to have all the tools needed to succeed.
- Please call in Transportation Changes to the office @ 208-365-0877 by 2:50 pm / Fridays 1:45 pm.
- If you need to check out your child during recess, we kindly request that you wait until the recess concludes or arrive before recess. This supports the safety of all students, as our duty staff can then focus on their designated supervision areas without any distractions. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
