SUMMARY:Dress As Your Favorite Idiom Spirit Day
DESCRIPTION:The Lower School Student Council will host our third annual “Dress as Your Favorite Idiom” Spirit Day! Instead of wearing Formal School Dress\, students are invited to come dressed as an idiom and be ready to explain it to others. This is your chance to get creative and have some fun! For example\, you could dress as “smarty pants” by attaching Smarties (or their wrappers) to your pants\, but that’s just one idea. There are so many clever and imaginative ways to bring idioms to life. \nShow your Blue Dog spirit and earn points for your color team by participating!\nStudents who choose not to participate should come in Formal School Dress.

SUMMARY:Lower School NWEA Testing
DESCRIPTION:Kindergarten through IIIrd Form students will begin taking the NWEA Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) Growth assessments for reading and mathematics. These assessments are taken on iPads and Chromebooks and adapt to each child’s learning level as they work through the questions. If a child answers a question correctly\, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly\, the next question is easier. This process provides a detailed picture of your child’s knowledge and readiness to learn new concepts. This tool also helps us determine each child’s instructional level and track their academic growth throughout the school years. During NWEA testing\, students have regular arrival and dismissal.
