Testing

It is time for the FAST Second Progress Monitoring (PM2) Assessments for 3rd-6th Grade. Make sure your student gets 9-11 hours of sleep and eats a good breakfast on testing days.

Informational letter from Dr. Lord: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1G9UcP3kEdhtVAigpcREgQFPrkaE3v2WQ/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103349438179569934797&rtpof=true&sd=true

If your student leaves campus before completing a test (e.g., for lunch, an appointment), he or she will not be allowed to return to that test. If your student does not feel well on the day of testing, it may be best for him or her to wait and be tested on a make-up day. Please remember not to schedule appointments on testing days.

Sign Up for Parent Lunch

We are excited to be offering this two days a week for the remainder of the school year. Parents may select a day, Tuesday or Friday, to come and have lunch with their child. Be sure to arrive a few minutes prior to your child's lunch time. Parents must have their ID (Driver's License or other approved forms of ID and will sign in through the office. Students will need to return to class at the regularly scheduled time. We request parents do not check out their child on Fridays at the end of the lunch period. Due to limited space, it is important parents sign up if they would like to come and have lunch with their child.

Parental involvement is so important to the success of Indialantic Elementary!
