Here is to a wonderful spring at Creech Road. We are glad to have made it through the grip of winter. Before you blink, it will be our last day of school and we will be looking forward to the long lazy days of summer. Our students are working hard to finish the year strong. Our teachers are busy, using spring Case 21 data to guide them in providing instruction that will help students meet goals before EOGs and the end of the year. Please ask your child’s teacher if you have any questions about the recent report cards or CASE 21 data for 3rd-5th grade. Also, all students will be assessed on reading skills for a final benchmarking period beginning May 11th. EOG testing will begin the week of May 18th. EOG Tips Parents, there are some tips and reminders that will help end of grade sleep prior to testing day! Eat a good breakfast! Continue to work on stamina-reading for 45 minutes to one hour without stopping. Remember to mark your answers in book and re-check your answers as time allows. Use testing strategies that teachers have taught-underlining important information, reading questions first and process of elimination of answers. PTA Our PTA is always working collaboratively behind the scenes to provide programs for our students. They helped make the 4th and 5th grade field trips to the coastal area of the state affordable for our students and they have sponsored several events including movie nights.
