Dear Parents,

Sunday, April 26

Well, the students will have finished taking their final CRCT test by the time you see this. I know they’re all very happy that this round of tests is over. Thank you so much for helping prepare your students for these tests and getting them to school everyday. Hopefully, their scores will be as good as their behavior was during the tests.

Though the CRCTs are finished, students are still scheduled to take the Iowa Test of Basic Skills from May 13-19. (They were originally scheduled for May 6-12, but the testing dates were pushed back a week.) Imagine Schools requires students retake the ITBS again in the spring so that their progress over the school year can be measured.

One final note, Take-Home folders are not being sent home this week because there’s really nothing to send to you as we spent most of last week reviewing for the CRCTs. However, regular instruction resumes on Tuesday.

Working together for student success,

Mrs. Pede
