Hola:
Es difícil creer que ya nos estamos preparando para la segunda Evaluación diagnóstica i-Ready (i-Ready® Diagnostic) (December 4, 2024). La segunda evaluación diagnóstica es un punto de referencia clave para comprender el progreso de su estudiante, por eso es muy importante que lo haga lo mejor posible. Estos resultados nos permiten apoyarlo mejor para que logre sus objetivos de crecimiento para el año.
Lo más importante que podemos hacer es preparar y motivar a los estudiantes para que se esfuercen al máximo.
Estas son algunas cosas que usted puede hacer para ayudar a su estudiante:
· ¡Asegúrese de que descansa y duerme las horas suficientes la noche antes de hacer la evaluación!
· Hable con su estudiante sobre por qué la segunda evaluación diagnóstica es importante. Puede decir algo así:
o La segunda Evaluación diagnóstica te ayuda a saber cuánto has progresado desde que empezó el curso.
o ¡Nos permite a tu maestro y a mí celebrar tus logros!
o Hazlo lo mejor posible y no te apresures… pero tampoco pases demasiado tiempo en una sola pregunta.
o Recuerda que las preguntas de la evaluación cambian con base en tus respuestas a las preguntas anteriores. Habrá preguntas que no sepas. ¡Está bien! Solo hazlo lo mejor posible.
· Hágale saber que le emociona mucho celebrar su progreso.
Le agradecemos que siga siendo parte del equipo en el aprendizaje de su estudiante.
Atentamente,
Rhonda Stone

Hello LUES,
It’s hard to believe that we’re already preparing for the second i-Ready® Diagnostic starting on December 4, 2024. The second Diagnostic is an important benchmark for understanding your student’s growth, which is why it’s so important they try their best. These results allow us to better support them in achieving their goals for the year. This is considered a testing environment very much like the Georgia Milestones. We need students to be on time to school (7:45 am) and stay all day (2:45 pm). If they miss a testing portion, they will have to make it up during lunch, recess, and/or connections.
The most important thing we can do is prepare students and motivate them to put forth their best effort.
Here are a few things you can do to help support your student:
· Make sure they get a good night’s rest before taking the Diagnostic!
· Talk to your student about why the second Diagnostic is important. You can say things like:
o The second Diagnostic helps you find out how much progress you’ve made since the beginning of the year.
o It allows your teacher and me to celebrate your accomplishments!
o Try your best, and do not rush—but don’t spend too much time on a question either.
o Remember, questions on the Diagnostic change based on your answers to earlier questions. You will see some questions you don’t know. That is okay! Just try your best.
· Let them know you’re excited to celebrate their progress. We will also celebrate their success and progress here at school!
Thank you for your continued partnership in your student’s learning.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Stone
Principal, LUES

This Thanksgiving, Mrs. Payne's 5th Grade English Language Arts class embarked on a unique and enriching experience that went beyond the traditional curriculum.
Before digging in, Mrs. Payne took a moment to discuss the significance of table manners. The students practiced these skills as they passed their feast items around the tables, creating an atmosphere of gratitude and camaraderie.
Students in Mrs. Reese's first period math class got to celebrate with a movie and donuts today as a reward for meeting behavior expectations and working hard in math class. Thank you Dalton Gibbs for bringing the donuts!

LUES: BRRR... IT'S COLD OUTSIDE
This is a friendly reminder to put your child's name in his/her jacket with this cooler weather. Also, remember to check for head lice that may easily transfer from jackets and hats. It's less common for lice to spread through clothing but it's always a good idea to remind your child not to share hats or winter clothing that comes in contact with hair.
We're all in this together!
