Dear Progress Families,
I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break! It’s been a great week of getting our feet back under us after the well-deserved time off. We are ready to take on the final trimester! Our Spring round of Inquiry and Exploration units have begun! Be sure to ask your kids about what they are learning about!
At the end of April your kids will all be taking the FastBridge assessment for the final time of the year. This assessment measures growth in the areas of Reading and Math. There is also a socio-emotional piece we take a look at.
May 9th-26th our 3rd through 5th Grade students will be taking the Smarter Balanced Assessment which is the state testing for students across Washington. The specific dates can be found below under the Upcoming Events section. It is really important to avoid scheduling appointments on these days so that the kids may test in their own classroom where they will be more comfortable and confident. If missing one of these days is unavoidable, please let your Child’s teacher know as soon as possible so we can schedule the make-up assessment.
If your child will be missing school for any reason, it is very important to call the attendance line and let us know the reason for the absence. Absences not called in with a reason will be left as unexcused.
PTA needs board members for next year! Voting happens in May. If interested please reach out to Kyndra Bunkelman at [email protected]
