I hope everyone enjoyed their 3 day weekend! We jump right back in tomorrow as we prepare for Friday’s first SBAC ELA computer adaptive test.
Important reminders for this week:
- Testing Friday, March 13
- Movie at AMC Town Center Saturday, March 14
- Students will have no homework on Thursday, March 12
- Please make sure that students get a good night’s sleep on Thursday night
- Please send your letters of encouragement by Wednesday so I can write letters for students who do not receive one
Snacks
If you would like to send in snacks, we’re burning through them as we prepare for SBAC. We could also use the half bottles of water. Thanks for anything you are able to provide! Thanks to those who have sent us items this week!
Curriculum
Your students may have told you about our SBAC Olympics. We will continue to prepare with the SBAC Olympics through Thursday of this week. On Friday, we will read our parent sent notes and then go in to test immediately thereafter.
Student attendance is incredibly important, and I strongly advocate for regular student attendance. Please make sure your student is comfortable and on time on Friday. However, if your student is sick, has a fever, has recently vomited, or is otherwise unwell, please do not send them in on Friday. Sick students do not test well. This will mean they will likely have to test with another class on a different day.
Movie
Thanks to everyone who emailed about Onward! I bought tickets on Saturday. We are scheduled to see the 12:15 p.m. showing. Again, if you’d prefer to drop off your student, you’re more than welcome to. There is a stairway up to the AMC box office and I will be inside or outside that area depending on weather. Run time is 102 minutes, so with previews, we’ll likely get out a little before 2 p.m. Please be at the theater no later that 1:55 p.m. to pick up your students. We usually take a picture after the movie.
