Due to the extreme winter weather conditions we have faced this year it has been necessary to use an unusual amount of calamity days. With it nearing the end of February one would hope that the severe weather is behind us and spring is near!  Our district has prepared packages of assignments known as “Blizzard Bags” to help us make up for the instruction that we have lost over the last month.  Your child’s “Blizzard Bag” will include work from each of his/her teachers which will account for one calamity day.

The PARCC assessment will allow parents to engage in their child’s education. It’s sometimes difficult for parents to measure whether or not their child is learning what they need to know to succeed in the future. The new assessments will provide parents with more information about how their child is progressing in school.

These new assessments will replace outdated and ineffective tests with new tests that measure real world skills that colleges and employers say they value – like critical thinking and problem solving.
