Students can have 3 items of luggage; a suitcase or bag with their clothes and main items, a backpack for snacks on the bus or to carry toiletry items, and their bedding (don't forget a pillow).  It is recommended that their sleeping bag or other bedding be put in a garbage bag with a strip of duct tape with their name on it.  Sometimes it is dusty or even muddy in the parking lot where we unload.

AIMS

Next week is AIMS week.  Writing will be on Monday with Reading and Math each day there after.  No testing is on Friday unless there are makeups to complete.
 
Please make sure your child is fed and well rested for the testing.  Many times, teachers use the results of AIMS testing to build groups the following year for Math and/or Reading.  We want to make sure that the results are as accurate as possible.  So, please encourage your child to put their all into it, not to rush, and to be thoughtful about each question.
 
Thank you.
