Welcome back Huskies!
I hope you had an OUTSTANDING spring break filled with quality time with loved ones and some fun. We are quickly approaching the end of the year- I can’t even believe it! We have a lot of information to share with you.
Scooters is open! If that isn’t a sign that it is spring, I don’t know what is!
Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) will begin this week. All students 3-8 will be taking this test. We are doing our best to streamline the administration, make it student friendly and ensure that teaching and learning, FAW classes and fun are prioritized. If you have any questions about your child’s testing accommodations within their IEP or their EL status, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
It is important that your child is here and on time so that they can test. Make-up tests can be hard for students, and we have a tight timeline to complete the tests.
It is essential that your child get a good night’s sleep. This is important all of the time, but especially when they are in a testing environment during the day. It is tiring and grade level tests are difficult. We want their brains in tip-top performance.
This is an important test for your child and for our school. If you have any questions about it, the timing of the test or trying to determine if you should reschedule a dentist appointment, reach out to your student’s teacher.
I know that you and your students have been asked to take a lot of surveys- some for me, some for our LSC and some for the District. Each survey helps us plan and give meaningful feedback in different areas. Please make time to provide me and our school the feedback it needs to grow.
The CPS Spring Survey opened on Wednesday, March 18th. This survey asks parents to share their perspectives on school culture and climate, as well as school building needs (flyer in English and Spanish). Families are encouraged to complete the survey at cps.edu/parentsurvey.
Let’s make it a great week,
Dr. Byrne
