GFTC's March Madness starts tomorrow with the first event being a spring art contest. Throughout the month there will be weekly or daily contests where students can win individual or class prizes, treats, and other fun!

Next week, March 7-11 is a Lollipop Tree Raffle and a week long "Loose Change Contest." more details on that will come soon!

This week, February 28 - March 4 is "Read Across America" week. Each day our school will share a book and dress with spirit to celebrate that book's theme or message. Here are the spirit day guidelines blelow:

Wisconsin Students in Grades 3 - 5 will be participating in the Wisconsin Forward assessment during the March 21 - April 29 testing window. Our school is scheduled to take the Wisconsin Forward assessment March 21 - April 14. Your child’s teacher will inform you of the specific dates of testing for their class.

The Wisconsin Forward assessment tests students in the areas of English Language Arts, Math, Science (4th grade only) and Social Studies (4th grade only). One or more subtests may be administered daily during the identified time frame and it is very important that your son or daughter be in school during this time. Students not in school on the scheduled testing days will be scheduled for a make-up test prior to the close of the testing window.

The Wisconsin Forward assessment measures the knowledge and skills your student(s) should have acquired by the time they reach each grade level. Their performance on the assessment will not affect any of their current grades. Please encourage your son or daughter to take the test seriously and do the best they can. The results of these tests will be used to help school staff make determinations or placement in classes to best support your child(ren).

If you have any questions, please contact the Grewenow Office at 262-359-6362.
