Spring Assessments

Dear 6th Grade Families,

Beginning this week, your student will be taking the Smarter Balanced Assessments in English Language Arts (reading and writing) as well as math. This new Common Core aligned assessment will officially replace the MSP next school year. This year, our district is getting a sneak peak of the test layout by participating in a field study for the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. Here is a list of our class’ testing dates:

Tuesday, April 14^th – ELA

Tuesday, April 22^nd – ELA

Wednesday, April 23^rd- ELA

Tuesday, May 13^th – Math

Tuesday, May 20^th- Math

Although this is a field test, therefore no official scores will be produced, I urge you to give as much encouragement and support to your students as possible. I expect the 6^th graders to give their absolute best effort and take this assessment very seriously. It will be very important for your child to get plenty of sleep, especially the night before testing. Also, don’t forget a healthy breakfast!

Please call or email me with any questions. Thank you so much for your continued support in your child’s education!

Conference Week Reminders!

Hi 6th Graders and Families,

Just a few quick reminders for conference week (February 10th-14th).

• School begins at the normal time and dismisses at 11:53. Breakfast and lunch WILL be served as normal.
• Please double check your conference time. If you are unsure, call the school at 253-373-7434 and the wonderful office staff can assist you.
• Please call the above number if you conference time does not work so we can reschedule! I cannot make any schedule changes, they must all go through the master schedule in the office!

For these conferences, we will be going over your child's report card and academic progress, behavior, goals, and do some 7th grade preparation.

I look forward to seeing you and discussion your awesome 6th grade student!

IXL Math Practice

Hi 6th Graders,

I'm super excited for us to have IXL at Neely! This is a great program where you can practice math at all different levels. I get to track your progress and watch you succeed as you move through the lessons! Maybe we could even think of fun rewards for students who spend time working on IXL!

You will have to use your unique login and password to begin IXL. I will give that to you in computer lab!!
