PMS News & Notes 3/27/15

Spring break is here!  It is time to recharge the batteries and get ready for a very important stretch run. We have all worked extremely hard.  Thank you for your part in the positive work, effort, and attitude it takes to run successful programs which lead to student success.  Some quick news and notes before break...

Monday 4/6 PD Day
You can check out the schedule for the PD Day HERE.  We will start Badger Exam Proctor Training at 1:00pm, and that training should take no longer than 2 hours. I will have an updated list of the test proctors and activity schedule for those not involved in proctoring the exam on Monday.

Badger Exam
There was a recent update delaying the ELA portion of the exam for 2 weeks.  This does not affect our testing schedule.  Beginning with 8th grade on Wednesday 4/8, we will run a Badger Exam dry run, including having the students watch the video tutorial on their own, and taking time to go through the practice test. I will have details on Monday as well.  7th grade will do a dry run on Thursday 4/9, and 6th grade on Friday 4/10. Testing groups will be shared on Monday as well.

Field Trip Reminder
As we get deeper into spring, we have more field trips in our lesson plans and schedules.  If you are planning a field trip, and are having parent volunteers to chaperone, they need to complete the volunteer/background check process through our district office.  Please plan ahead for this, as they need about two weeks notice to get the chaperones on our approved volunteer list.  If a chaperone is already on our volunteer list, please confirm that with me.

Student of the Month Breakfast
Our next Student of the Month Breakfast will be on Friday, 4/10.  We almost have all of our candidates selected.  Thanks for your support of this great event for our students and families.
