Oh my goodness! We are now into May and that means that there are only 20 school days left. We have so much to get done in this short amount of time, so please make sure that your child is here every day. Below is a list of important dates that are coming up. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.

The school will be providing “testing treats” during RISE testing. I need parents to fill out this form in order for your student to have a treat before testing: https://forms.gle/8uRmeqV3ikWdeXFP7

For math and reading this week, we will be reviewing. We will also be practicing the Rise test every day.

Important Dates:

• THIS WHOLE WEEK – End of Level i-Ready Diagnostic Test
• May 9th – 12th – RISE ELA End of Level Testing @ 10:15 & End of Level DAZE Test
• May 16th – 18th – RISE MATH End of Level Testing @ 8:50 & End of Level Dibels Test (Reading)
• May 20th – Quest Under the Stars @ 5:00 p.m. – All of the 3rd grade classes have been growing tomato seeds that spent 6 weeks on the International Space Station. We are recording data on their growth and submitting it to NASA. How cool is that?!? Our tomatoes will be on display during Quest Under the Stars.
• May 25th – 3rd Grade Field Day Trip – Space is limited at Quest, so the 3rd grade will be having our field day at Stonefield Park in West Haven. This activity is a field trip, so a permission form will be sent out soon. We will also need some amazing parent volunteers to help with this day. You can sign up to volunteer on your child’s permission form.
• May 26th & 27th – Short Days and the 27th is the last day of school.
