PRMS February and March Update

As I told you a few months ago that our state testing system has changed to the ATLAS assessment and that it would be given in the spring. We do start with these assessments in March. You can find the dates for each of those test in the upcoming events list. Please be watching for more information and tips for preparing your students for these days. The number one thing that you can do is make sure your students are in attendance on these days unless they are sick. We do have to test all students so the less amount of make-up test that are needed the better. Students always do better when they are in their normal setting and environment on the scheduled test day. There is also a website for parents and families that you can check out on the Atlast Portal website. Please let me know at rallen@pearidgek12.com if you have any questions about these assessments or any of the upcoming events.

If your daughter would like to attend this PTO event please see the information on the attached flyer.

Save the dates February 27th and 29th, from 3:30-6:30 for Parent Teacher Conferences. These will be a drop in events again where your student will share what they are learning and you will have a chance to speak to their teachers. There will also be staff from the Junior High to speak to 6th grade parents concerning their students schedule for next year.

Our state Writing Assessment will be earlier than normal this year due to the state testing windows. We will have our state writing assessment on March 6, 2024. Please make sure to try not to schedule appointments for students on this day. Make sure that students gets a good night of rest the night before and a healthy breakfast that morning.

Come join us in the PRMS Game of Life family event. Students will pick a career, make decisions of spending, and balance out their budget. Did they overspend or play it safe? All smart shoppers will win a prize! And as we all know, spending money works up an appetite, so enjoy some pizza and drinks after your finish playing the game!

We are looking for parents and community members that would like to come speak for career presentations at PRMS on March 15th. If you would like to come be part of this or know someone in the community that would please fill out this google form.
