AIMS/Student Placement

AIMS reminders: Grades 2-6 Dates~ April 10-15. To create the best testing environment as possible we will not be having K-6 parent helpers, K-6 volunteers during AIMS. We want to provide every child the opportunity to do their best with the least interruptions as possible. We also ask that you not make or to please reschedule appointments during the week of AIMS that would cause your student to come/go or arrive late. Our testing protocol takes all students into account for the best results. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Should your child experience "pre-butterflies" regarding AIMS, please suggest to them Study Island. This is a service provided to our 2-6 students, that is correlated to AIMS. Students can do Study Island in the "game" mode or "test" mode or "both!"
Achieving Blue Ribbons is a good way to build confidence & skills!
Also, a good breakfast and restful night's sleep is always helpful when students need to be at their best!

Parent Input forms will be coming out right after AIMS. I will post the form on this blog through a link. You will actually have to go to this site (instead of reading through your in-box), to reach the link. Your input is a valuable piece to our process of Student Placement. I appreciate hearing from you. Please remember we do not honor teacher requests, but do our very best to build cohesive, balanced classrooms. Be looking for more information after AIMS.
