The Rapids Report

November 29th, 2021

Dear STrEaM Families,

As we move into December, brrrrr! It is COLD! This week we have Winter MAP testing on Tuesday and Thursday. This allows us to gather valuable data points on Reading and Math, assessing progress since fall and adjusting instruction, groups and supports as needed. On Friday, teachers will send notification to parents of any students with Ds or Fs, giving ample opportunity to improve mastery before the quarter ends.

Please remind students to dress warm and be prepared!

Book Swap & Bake Sale

Student Leadership will be collecting books for the Swap this week!

Students can bring in books to swap on Wednesday & Thursday. There will be a collection table in the front lobby before & after school on Wednesday, and before school Thursday. Books must be in good condition and appropriate for a middle school reader. The swap will take place next Thursday, December 9th from 2:30-3:30.

Students will receive tickets for each book they bring. Tickets may be used to swap for books or to “purchase” baked goods. Books not swapped will be donated to the STrEaM library, profits collected from this event will be put back into our school community.
