Parent/Family Update

Dear Parents/Families,

We are nearing the end of the third quarter. This signals our journey to the end of the school year. Although this is a busy time of year, we are looking forward to a successful final quarter.

Academic Updates & ILEARN Checkpoints
This month, students will be participating in LEARN Checkpoint 3 assessments. This testing has already begun. Teachers will use this data to plan for instruction prior to the ILEARN Summative Assessments taking place in April.
  • Checkpoint Assessment Scores: Remember that you can access scores and detailed reports through the ILEARN Family Portal. You will need your student’s unique 6-digit access code.
  • IREAD-3: Students who have not yet fulfilled the state requirement of passing IREAD-3 will be taking the assessment the first week of March.
  • Third Quarter Grades: Grades for the third quarter will be officially available for viewing on March 13, 2026, via the Parent Portal.

Looking Ahead
Spring Break is coming soon, March 23-27. Please remember that Friday, March 20 is a snow make up day. Check out the calendar for details on many other exciting events happening this month.

As we finish up Public Schools Week, I want to personally thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Sincerely,
Lisa Eldridge, Principal
