Dear East Fallowfield Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade Families,

Beginning on Monday, April 25th, our third, fourth and fifth grade students will take the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) tests. The annual Pennsylvania System School Assessment is a standards-based, criterion-referenced assessment which provides students, parents, educators, and citizens with an understanding of student and school performance related to the attainment of proficiency of the academic standards. These standards in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science and Technology identify what a student should know and be able to do at varying grade levels. Every Pennsylvania student in grades 3 through 8 is assessed in English Language Arts and Math. Every Pennsylvania student in grades 4 and 8 is assessed in science.

These assessments will be administered on the following days:

English Lang. Arts April 24th to April 26th - Grades 3, 4, & 5

Math May 1st to May 2nd - Grades 3, 4, & 5

Science May 3rd to May 4th - Grade 4

The 2023 state PSSA Cell Phone and Electronic Device Policy is included below. During the assessment dates, we encourage students to leave cell phones and electronic devices like smart watches at home.

PSSA REMINDERS FOR TEST TAKERS AND FAMILIES

To ensure student success and accuracy on the assessments, we ask for your help with the following:

• Encourage your student to leave electronic devices at home
• Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep on the nights before testing.
• Provide a nutritious breakfast for your child. Breakfast is served daily at Rainbow free of charge.
• Be sure your child arrives at school on time. Children who arrive to school late (after 10:00 a.m.), will not be permitted to join the testing in progress. They will be supervised until the test is over and will have to make up the missed session later.
• Be mindful of your child’s stress levels and reassure her/him that she/he can do this. The tests are not timed. We want students to feel confident that they are test ready as they have worked hard and learned much this year.
• Make-up sessions may occur during the afternoon. So, if your child needs to leave early for an appointment, please notify us before the start of the school day. If a child begins a test session, and leaves, she/he may not finish it later. Also, please try to schedule appointments for your child on non-testing days.

Last Wednesday, East Fallowfield was excited to continue our partnership with Musicopia! Previously, our instructors came in to work with our 5th grade students and teach them different African dances and Afro-Carribean drumming. On Wednesday, our performers invited some of our 5th graders to perform alongside them for two assemblies! Our students did a wonderful job and our students and staff really enjoyed themselves during both shows!

Congratulations to fourth grade student Brian for leveling up on Lexia English. Keep up the great work! We are so proud of you!

This week's winners of our Eagle Eye drawing won a free ice cream coupon from the cafeteria! Congratulations to these students for showing our school expectations of Safety, Ownership, Acceptance and Respect! Keep SOARING!

Our next PTO meeting will be Wednesday, May 3rd at 7:00 pm in the library.

We have extended our Hershey Park ticket sales through April 30th. Please be sure to send this flyer to your friends and family wo may be interested in getting tickets at our extremely discounted price! Purchase now and enjoy them this summer!!!
