Dear Parents,

Dear Parents,

Iowa Test of Basic Skills: Please note: The 2^nd administration of these tests were originally scheduled for next week. However, I just received word that the tests have been rescheduled for May 6-12.

Take-Home folders: Take-Home folders will be sent out tomorrow (Tuesday, March 3). Please be sure to sign the folder and the cover sheets of all tests it may contain and then make sure your student brings in the signed folders and tests by Friday of each week. Thank you.

CRCT Test Prep info: Please make sure that your students are logging on to the Online Assessment site (www.georgiaoas.org) and taking at least one of the Teacher Assigned tests each week. This is a great way for them to prepare for the CRCT’s as it helps them become familiar with the language and format of the tests.

Wanted: Our class could still use the following items: tissues, paper towels, Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, or hand soap.

Updating Personal Information: Please make sure to email me any changes in phone numbers, email addresses, or home addresses so I can keep my files up to date. In addition, if you have never received an email from me, please send me your email address as soon as possible.

Working together for student success,

Mrs. Pede
