Bright Arrow Communication System:
We have purchased and installed a mass communication system that will allow us to text, email, and call groups in a more efficient manner. We will be using this system when we need to send out messages to all families, particular grade level families, teachers/staff, etc. This system will be particularly helpful in emergency situations and when school is canceled due to weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances.
We will be sending out a “test” message tomorrow to make sure that we are reaching everyone. This message will be sent via email, phone, and text message. We want to send it in all three formats to make sure that the system is working properly. When you receive the text, you will need to “opt-in” by responding YES. Once that is done, you will continue to receive the texts without needing to opt-in again.
The system is set to use the contact information that is already in our system. If you do not receive the test message tomorrow, or you would like to add a number or email to the message system, please contact the office and let Cindy know.
Iowa Test Results:
Iowa test results will be sent home today with our 3rd, 5th, and 7th graders today. We are very proud of our students. The group profile reports show the overall results for each grade level. The NPR (National Percentile Ranking) shows us what percentage of students nationwide that we scored higher than in that particular grade level. For example, scoring a 74% in reading, as seen on the third-grade results, means that our students scored higher than 74% of the third graders nationwide.
