The testing on Mon-Wed went well this week.

There are still a few students taking their tests "untimed" that need to schedule with Mrs. Jones to come into CIAS on the next several Fridays to finish their tests, starting Friday, April 18th from 10 AM to 12 noon.

The ITBS and Iowa TAP results will be back to us within 6 weeks after we mail them off to Riverside, so we should be receiving them by mid-June. We will e-mail and call everyone to schedule Review Meetings with Administration as soon as they arrive.

We also took head shot pictures of all the students on Tuesday. These are for each child's Cumulative File, or for their test file if they are not enrolled in CIAS.

There are only six weeks of school left.
Blessings!
