Miss Pellin's Post February 11th – February 15th
This week we will be taking the Iowa Basics Tests. These are standardized tests that will assess students in the subjects of reading, vocabulary, math problem solving, math computation, word usage and expression, math estimation, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Friday, February 14th will be reserved for retakes. Please make sure students get to bed early, eat a healthy breakfast in the morning, and bring a healthy snack to school each day this week.
On Friday, February 8th join me in wearing Prairieview School spirit wear. Remember to wear red on Friday, February 15th in honor of Valentines’ Day.
Thank you to all the parents who made Culture a successful and tasty event.
