The Weather is Getting Colder…

Please MAKE SURE that your child has a winter coat, hat and gloves for use at recess when it becomes necessary. Include boots when it rains or when the snow starts to fly.

  

This week, September 29^th to October 3^rd, the students in grades 3 to 8 will be participating in Terra Nova and Inview  standardized testing. These tests allow us to compare our students’ abilities with students from our fellow synod schools as well as students in public and private education across the U.S. There is no advance studying necessary for these tests, but it is important that the students are well rested and have a proper breakfast and lunch to allow them to put forth their best efforts and give us an accurate assessment of their skills.

If you have any further questions about these tests, please speak to your child’s teacher or Mr. Schneck.
