Spring Break Reading Packet
The students in third grade brought home a Spring Break reading practice packet. If your child doesn’t return the packet, he/she will not receive a color change. However,those who do will receive a reward.

In order to receive a “1” in the area of Knows Math Facts on the report card, students need to be 100% fluent on their addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts on Xtra Math. At the end of 4th quarter, students need be 100% fluent on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in order to receive a “1” on their report card.

M-Step Update
This spring, our students in third through fifth grades will be participating in the statewide assessment, M-STEP. This year, all of our schools will be testing online on Chromebooks. In addition to some changes made at the state level regarding testing times and format, our staff is working to familiarize the students with the look and feel of the online format of the M-STEP. By spending a little time each week, we are hopeful that this will provide our Cougars with the best opportunity to showcase the knowledge and skills they have been developing all year. Below are the links to the online practice sessions, and student tutorial videos that will be shared with students at school. Please feel free to check them out so you are familiar with the assessment. We are asking for your cooperation by reminding your child that he or she has learned many great things to be ready for this test, and that we are confident that each of our students will do his or her best.
