Newsletter, Friday, October 8, 2010

Happy Friday Van Allen families! It’s been such a beautiful week out and I hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy the weather this weekend. This week at Van Allen has been a chaotic one. The students have been so respectful and flexible throughout this week and I want to say thank you to them.

Some things that went on this week were: fall writing assessments, Van Allen family assembly, walk to school day, Dibels testing, Mr. Murley’s visit, and bus evacuations.

Next week your child will be taking the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. Here are a few tips that will help ensure that all students are prepared to do their best:
1. Get a good night’s rest.
2. Eat a good breakfast.
3. Keep a positive attitude, especially when you start to feel nervous or anxious.
4. Try to avoid scheduling morning appointments that would remove your child from school.

Upcoming Events:

• October 11th-15th- ITBS testing
• Friday, October 15th-Torch Run at 1 PM
• October 25th-29th- 6th grade school of the wild/5th grade week
• Friday, October 29th- Halloween parade/party
