APRIL FIELD TRIP AND CHANGES TO CALENDAR Our April field trip has been POSTPONED due to a scheduling conflict with the facility. I am hoping that we will be able to reschedule this field trip soon. I apologize for the inconvenience. Because of this, Ms. Stubbs will be having regular elementary PE class on April 20 from 11:00-12:00. Please mark your calendars. One more change is that we will not be having PE on April 27. State testing and Chess Club will happen as usual on that day.
STATE TESTING State testing is broken down for elementary students during the four weeks in April. The first week is for 5th grade students who are taking the Science test, the second week is for students in grades 3-6 taking the Language Arts test, the third week is for students in grades 3-6 taking the Math test, and the fourth week is for any student who needs extra time to finish ANY of their tests. If your student needs additional time beyond the scheduled dates, we will contact you to schedule extra sessions in May. If your student is homeschooled (meaning NOT taking online classes at HOA), they are exempt and are not required to take state tests through us, although it is offered to you at no charge if you would like them to participate. If your students is a 5th grader taking Science with us, they are required to take the Science test. If your student is taking Language Arts with us, they are required to take the Language Arts state test. If they are taking Math with us, they are required to take the Math test. Here is the website for the practice tests, practice.smarterbalanced.org. I would recommend sitting down with your student and taking a test with them so they have an idea of what types of questions will be on the test.
