ITBS Testing

4th Grade Homework Sheet
Dear Students and Parents,
Thank you to all parents that attended the information meeting on Wednesday in 4th grade. The meeting was informative and I hope the clarification given will be helpful to understand the expectations throughout the school year.
Next week is ITBS(Iowa)testing. There is no weekly homework scheduled. However, I have spoken with students about getting to bed early, having a good nutritious breakfast before school, and arriving to school on time. Please remember that school starts at 7:55am everyday. A good goal is to aim for having students arrive at 7:45 next week so that if for any reason it actually takes longer (traffic, unexpected delays, etc.) students will still be on time for these important tests. These tests will be used to understand each student’s strengths and weaknesses and results will be discussed at parent/teacher conferences in November. **(If you haven’t done so already, please send an extra large t-shirt for students to keep at school for art projects throughout the year.)
Please note that Math-A-Thon pledge sheets went home in tuition envelopes. Students should begin getting pledges (sponsors) for our Math-A-Thon fundraiser. The money earned will count for trimester assessment fees if applicable.
Have a great week and thank you for choosing OLA School. Please feel free to contact me through the school office (881-2416) or through my email @ yschemenauer.ourladyofassumption.ocs@sbdiocese.org
