As previously shared,<br \/>\nour students will complete both the iReady Reading and iReady Mathematics<br \/>\nassessment three times during the school year. We utilize the resulting<br \/>\ndata to inform our universal instruction, to personalize learning for<br \/>\nstudents, and to monitor student growth toward grade-level proficiency<br \/>\nthroughout the school year. The purpose of this assessment is not to give<br \/>\nyour child a score or grade, but to determine how to best support their<br \/>\nlearning in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>*What happens next?*<\/p>\n<p>Our students will be assessed in both mathematics and reading between<br \/>\nJanuary 14th and 24th. Typically, each assessment will take approximately<br \/>\n45 to 50 minutes in total, with testing divided into shorter periods over<br \/>\nseveral day\u2019s time. Students have as much time as they need to complete the<br \/>\ntests. Once complete, the data will be analyzed by our classroom teachers,<br \/>\ned specialists, and learning strategists to plan for the next steps in<br \/>\ninstruction.  We look forward to sharing these results with you in the<br \/>\ncoming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>*To help prepare your child for the i-Ready assessment, *encourage them to<br \/>\nget a good night\u2019s sleep and to eat a full breakfast every day. Encourage<br \/>\nthem to try their best on each question and not to rush through the test.<\/p>\n<p>*If you have any questions about i-Ready*, please do not hesitate to<br \/>\ncontact me, your child\u2019s Math or ELA teacher, or Ed Specialists Mrs.<br \/>\nFiorini or Ms. Falk. You can also learn more about i-Ready by visiting<br \/>\ni-ReadyCentral.com\/FamilyCenter.<\/p>\n<p>As always, thank you for your continued support and for being a partner in<br \/>\nyour child\u2019s learning! It is much appreciated!<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Pound<\/p>\n<p>SFMS Principal<\/p>\n<p>Please sign up in the MS office if you are interested in MS wrestling.

These include:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7               Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use an<br \/>\nalcohol-based hand sanitizer.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7               Cover your cough or sneeze with your upper sleeve, and try<br \/>\nto avoid touching your face with your hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7               If you use a tissue, throw it away after one use.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7               Never share drinking cups, straws, and utensils.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7               When possible, avoid being exposed to people who are sick<br \/>\nwith flu-like symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7               Eat nutritious meals, get plenty of rest, and do not smoke.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7               Frequently clean commonly touched surfaces, like doorknobs,<br \/>\nthe refrigerator handles, your phone, and faucets.<\/p>\n<p>If your child shows signs of illness, such as a high fever, cough,<br \/>\nsneezing, or runny nose, please keep them home until 24 hours after the<br \/>\nsymptoms pass to prevent them from spreading illness to classmates and<br \/>\nstaff.
