The weather looks PERFECT for a great field day tomorrow. It will be a bit chilly in the morning but as the day goes on, I'm sure the kids will shed their sweatshirts and jackets. PLEASE make sure everything gets labeled with your child's name. Field Day Colors: 3rd- White Shirts 🤍 4th- Blue Shirts 💙 5th- 5th grade class shirts 🖤 Don't forget sunscreen and a water bottle tomorrow! ☀️☀️🏃🏼‍♀️🧢🕶️🥪

Kinder Families, please review the Field Day procedures and reminders: Field Day Procedures: -Field day volunteers... please visit the front gate with your ID. We will double-check your ID against our information, and you will be provided a bracelet before going onto the field. No one will be permitted to go onto the field without being verified and wearing the bracelet. -Parents wanting to watch from the bleachers are welcome to come, but you will not be permitted on the field. No students will be permitted on the bleachers; they must remain on the field at all times. -All students must be accounted for; therefore, you may not take your child from the field for dismissal. They will ride the bus back to Kinder, and you are free to check them out in the front office with your ID, following our normal safety procedures. Reminders: -You can send in a packed lunch, or the school will charge their account and send a packed lunch for your child. -Please send your child to school wearing tennis shoes, sunscreen (applied at home), a hat (if needed), and a water bottle.

Mobile Dentist is changing to May 1st. If your child is already signed up, they will be seen on May 1st instead of their original date. If your child needs to be seen by the Mobile Dentist, please sign up today! If your child has been seen by a dentist within the last 6 months or has a scheduled appointment with a dentist, they are not eligible at this time.

Starting next week, your child will participate in Ohio State Tests (OST). These tests are computer-based state tests that will be administered in elementary, middle, and high schools to measure students’ progress toward Ohio’s Learning Standards. Elementary students in grades 3-5 will be assessed in English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science. Each state test has two parts. Please see the listed dates below. Grade 3 ELA OST - 4/15 & 4/16 Math OST - 4/29 & 4/30 Grade 4 ELA OST - 4/15 & 4/16 Math OST - 4/29 & 4/30 Grade 5 ELA OST - 4/15 & 4/16 Math OST - 4/22 & 4/23 Science OST - 4/29 & 4/30 * All 3rd graders take the ELA OST in both the fall and in the spring. To help your child be successful, please encourage your child to: Get a good night’s sleep before each testing day. Eat a healthy breakfast to help maintain focus and energy. Arrive at school on time and ready to begin. Take practice opportunities and ask questions beforehand. https://login7.cambiumtds.com/student_core/V286/Pages/LoginShell.aspx?c=Ohio_PT&a=Student (email Mrs.Hager if your student forgets his/her student ID) Read directions and questions carefully during the test. Pace yourself and review answers if time allows. Stay positive and give your best effort — that is all we ask! State assessments are just one measure of student learning, but they provide important information that helps us support every learner’s success. We appreciate your partnership in encouraging students to do their very best. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs.Hager. Fridays during testing weeks will be spirit Fridays hosted by student council. 4/17- Anything but a backpack 4/24- Twin Day 5/1- Pajama Day Sincerely, Mrs. Hager, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade staff
