Dear Parents
IAR testing is approaching. These results are very important for our students, school, and community.
You might wonder what you can possibly do to help prepare your child for these “tests” with the “new math.” Fear not! We have identified a deficit for nearly every grade level in basic math fact fluency and memorization.
Even in today’s modern world math fact mastery matters and speed counts. Don’t let anyone fool you, calculators and phones are not the answer. Students need to know the basics before they can build higher level skills.
We need your help!
Parents and grandparents can
Practice math facts in the car or while waiting in line
Talk about fractions when cooking
Play math games like Uno and Yahtzee as a family
Make up multiplication games with a deck of cards
Practice old fashioned flash cards
Play math games online (please monitor this carefully)
Utilize school apps like IXL (https://www.ixl.com/signin/claycity) and Reflex https://apps.explorelearning.com/account/reflex/login/student at home and bring the power of educational technology to empower your student.
Keep encouraging your students to try their best!

Mrs. Hildebrand's World History class has been studying the ancient Greeks. To finalize this unit, students made hoplite shields, or aspides. In the ancient Greek world, shields were decorated with blazons meant to show a soldier's allegiance or bravery, or to confuse the enemy. Students constructed their shields from cardboard and paper mache and designed their own blazons.
