FAST Testing
Kindergarten-2 Grades will take the Renaissance Star Reading, and Star Math assessments this week. Each test is less than 30 minutes. You can see some sample test questions and test format for your grade here: https://flfast.org/families.html.
The best preparation is daily instruction and attendance. On testing days, make sure your student gets a good night of sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, starts the day on a positive note, and arrives on time. Kids should not be discouraged when they get an answer wrong. They should just take their time and do their best.
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 do not schedule appointments on testing days:
K-2nd 4/16 ELA
K-2nd 4/17 Math
3-6th 5/1 ELA
3-6th 5/2 Math
5th 5/8 Science
Students with accommodations may be tested on an alternate date due to scheduling.

Sponsorship Opportunity
Every year the school gives out planners that are printed at the district level to grades 3-6. In years past the parents were charged $2 a planner and the teachers/PTO would have to collect the fee from each individual students. This is cumbersome task. All of the other schools beachside have a sponsor pay for the planners and in turn they have an advertisement page in each individual planner. The school orders 450 planners, and the cost of the planners and a full page color ad in each planner would be a total of $1192.00.
If your company or business would be interested in this advertisement opportunity, please contact
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!
Treasurer's Report
At our annual Jog-a-thon fundraiser we made more than enough to continue to fund our yearly budget, so at the March PTO meeting we voted to do more school beautification projects with vinyl covers for school windows, music playground landscaping, new curtains on the stage, and another mural on the street side of the media center. There are always more projects to work on, so we would be thrilled if you decide to donate any time.
Teachers, please fill out a Superfund Request to be considered for financial support for a special project from the PTO: https://www.indialanticpto.com/teachers
