Testing in Third and Fourth Grade- In April, students will be participating in the Oklahoma State Testing Program (OSTP). Please give your child every advantage by following these guidelines:

·        A good night’s rest and breakfast either at home or before school.

·         On time arrival for school  (by 8:20 a.m.). No classroom entry after testing has begun.

·         Avoid checkouts for appointments, lunch, etc.

·         If possible, send a water bottle with your child. 

Learner Profile Attribute of the Month: Communicator

In March, we will focus on being communicators. Students who are COMMUNICATORS are able to think and communicate in more than one language. They can express their ideas by speaking, drawing and writing. They can also communicate using mathematical language and symbols. 

How can parents help to develop students who are Communicators at home? Encourage your child to stay in touch with relatives and friends who live in other countries by writing letters, using the phone or sending email. Ask your child thought provoking questions and encourage them to discuss them with you. For example:

• What would you do if you were scared of someone at school?

• Is there anything you cannot buy with money?

• Should you get an allowance? Why or why not?

• Work with your child to improve his/her listening skills. Being a good listener is an important part of communicating with others.

Have a wonderful day!
