Oakbrook Families-
We are entering the last month of school and cannot believe we are down to the final few days of school left! While summer is quickly approaching, we still have many activities coming up this month. Thank you for helping us finish the final weeks of the school year strong.
We look forward to celebrating our teaching staff on May 5-9, take a moment to show your child’s teacher how important they have been to you this year during this fun week.
As we move into the testing season, we are so proud of how hard our students have been working to prepare. Their focus, determination, and positive attitudes have truly show just how capable and resilient they are.
In May we will be completing the Smarter Balanced Assessment, in grades 3, 4, and 5. Teacher’s will be sending home more detailed schedule information soon so that you can help prepare your child.
A few reminders:
- Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep before each test day
- Send them off with their favorite breakfast to start the day with confidence
- Pack their favorite snack to keep their energy up during breaks
- Write a short, encouraging letter or not for your child to read the morning on the test- a few kind words can make all the difference and help calm any nerves.
We believe in every single one of our students, and we are excited to see them show what they know!
Regards,
Leila Davis
