IDE STUDENTS LEND A HELPING HAND

COLLECTION FOR JAPAN

The response to the Helping Japan coin donation was tremendous! While collecting the coins over a 2-week period, WE RAISED $1,141.93. The students, parents, and teachers at Elizabeth Ide really contributed to raising the awareness about the importance of helping the people of Japan. Thank you to Mrs. Tran for organizing this terrific project. Our donation will be donated directly to the Red Cross organization.

All of our students were so concerned and demonstrated great generosity. One of our first grade students emptied her piggy bank of $90.00 in gold dollars to help people who were really in need! She earned a very special PAW!

Thank you for supporting our Character Counts program mission to help the people of Japan!! I hope you all have a wonderful spring break and enjoy your time together!

IMPORTANT PARENT NIGHT

MAP Testing Information Nights
Ide 2nd Grade Parents
Prior to conference week, 2nd grade parents received their students MAP test scores along with an explanatory letter. On March 15th, we have a parent session scheduled to help you better understand the student report and allow time for questions. BRING YOUR CHILD’S REPORT TO THE MEETING SO YOU CAN REFER TO THE DOCUMENT DURING THE PRESENTATION. Parents who want more information on MAP testing only need to attend ONE of the following scheduled meetings:

Elizabeth Ide/Prairieview - Tuesday, March 15th @ 6:30 at Prairieview
Lakeview - Thursday, March 17th @ 6:30 at Lakeview

I hope that you found the report informative. If you are unable to attend the parent information meeting, you may log into the NWEA parent toolkit at www.nwea.org and then click on the link for parent support. Your child’s teacher and the school principal are also available as a resource to you.
