Minnehaha Parents & Families,

 

Welcome Summer (almost!)

A lot going on at Minnehaha this time of year!  Three weeks left of May, and about that same amount for June.  It will go by fast!

We are still squarely in the middle of our Smarter Balanced Assessment window, which means that schedules for third, fourth, and fifth grades are still a bit wonky, depending on the day.  Remember to check in with your child’s teacher and watch for updates from him/her regarding the most up-to-date scheduling!  Remember to support your child with these by encouragement and positive messages – it’s an opportunity to “show what you know” and “just do the best you can!”

Please note the “Parent Input Form” in this newsletter; while we simply cannot accommodate individual teacher requests for next year’s class placement, our teachers certainly try hard to create balance classes and take into consideration each child’s needs.  You have an opportunity to provide input in this area should you choose, via the Parent Input Form.

Happy May!
