Week 27 March 4-8



Team Urban,

End of 2nd Trimester was Thursday.  We are now in the final 60 days of 3rd grade. Students have new AR goals based off of their STAR reading test they took this week.

Students had a blast dressing up as their favorite book character!







Conferences
As we approach student-led conferences I just wanted to remind you that ILCS is an end of year mastery school. This means that we are working towards mastery by the end of third grade. Some kiddos will not meet end of the year mastery at this point and could very well be a 2 in some areas as they work towards end of year mastery of a 3 this final trimester. 
Keep in mind, when looking at assessment logs, the % score is composed of several standards assessed in that test to come up with a total score. For example, a Reading Test score of 80% is made up of several reading/writing standards. Within those standards being assessed, there can be a standard or so that a student is not showing mastery even though an 80% is achieved.  Sign and return February Assessment Logs that were sent home Friday.

We will be hosting Student-Led conferences on Tuesday, March 12th from 1:30pm - 3:30pm. Conferences are held open-house style.

Service Projects
Please remember that ILCS is a leadership school and service is something we value greatly. Your kiddo is required to complete a service project and 8 hours of service and their projects are due early May. Our grade level service project will be completed after Spring Break and all of our contributions will go to help YAPS.
