The Rapids Report

August 23rd, 2021

Dear STrEaM Families,

We finished our first week of school! Welcome Week was a GREAT kick-off to the new year.

Now we begin to settle in, following our regular schedule. On Monday and Friday, students attend periods 1-7. Tuesday and Thursday are block days: we start in advisory, then attend periods 1-4 on Tuesday, 5-8 on Thursday (p. 8 are “specials”). Wednesday is early release at 12:00, lunch at home.

Drop-off and Pick-Up

Despite the heavy traffic, you’ve all done a GREAT job with pick-up and drop off! Thank you parents & families!! Please continue to pull as far forward as possible before stopping. In the morning, students will line up outside by grade levels until the doors open. Pick up is at 3:00 M/T/TH/F, and at 12:00 on Wednesdays.

iReady

This week in advisory students will take the iReady diagnostic test for Reading and Math. iReady is a GREAT tool to help students build skills and fill any holes in these areas. We strongly encourage iReady as part of your evening homework routine.
