Hello!
It has been a very busy week and your child(ren) have been working extremely hard! Give them an extra big hug and some praise for using perseverance while reviewing everything they have learned in anticipation of the OCCTs next week.
As mentioned in the last few emails, the Edisons will be taking state-mandated Oklahoma Core Curriculum Tests next week. The schedule is as follows:
April 12 (Tuesday) - Reading Part 1
April 13 (Wednesday) - Reading Part 2
April 14 (Thursday) - Math Part 1
April 15 (Friday) - Math Part 2
We ask you to make extra sure that your child is well-rested and well-fed when they come to school on these days. It would also be a good idea to get up a few minutes early so that you are not rushing to get to school on time. We want these mornings to be a calm time with as little stress as possible for these amazing eight and nine year olds who have so much pressure on them. We will do our part at school to ensure a calm environment and we appreciate you doing your best at home. We feel that they are ready for these high stakes test and have told them so! Please let them know how proud you are of them also. :)
We have not received many notes of encouragement but hope to see many come to us by the deadline which is tomorrow. Remember, it does not have to be anything fancy, just some words of encouragement to make them smile and relax. Please put each note in an envelope (or fold them) and label with your child's name and which day to give it to them (day 1, day 2, etc.) If they are not date specific, just put their name on the outside. Please keep this a secret from your child...we want them to be surprised!
McDonald's of Oklahoma is providing a Free Breakfast for students in 3rd-8th grades to help kickoff state standardized testing on April 11 from 6-9 a.m.
We are still in need of parent volunteers to help proctor state testing from April 11th – April 29th. If you are available and would like to help, please click on this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9YYMR53
Thank you for returning your overnight forms! We are busy planning all of the details and will send home an itinerary next week. We are super excited for this trip! If you have not filled out a Volunteer Form this year, you will need to do so before the trip. One is attached to this email. If you are unsure if you have filled one out, please check with the office. We must have one on file from every adult in attendance.
Please make note of the new LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. Since we didn't use any snow days this year, the last day of school for students was moved up to Tuesday, May 17th.
Also attached to this email is a form that we ask you to fill out each year regarding whether your child will return to Mayo next year. This helps us plan for next year and gives us an idea of how many slots we should fill. We are currently in the process of hosting tours of the school for parents interested in their child attending Mayo as a K-5 student. The lottery for Pre-K has already taken place but if you know of a family that has a child that will be in grades K-5 next year and are interested in Mayo, please have them call the office and reserve a spot at one of the following tours:
Wednesday, April 20th at 9:00am or Thursday, April 21st at 6:30pm
