i-Ready Testing

All students will take the i-Ready math and reading assessments the week of April 15th.  We have a special schedule that we will follow, but our students will still attend all of their classes each day.  Please take note of the important information below.

  • Testing will take place from 7:25-8:25 a.m. each day from April 15-19.  
  • Students should make sure their chromebook is charged the night before each day of testing.
  • Students should eat a good breakfast before coming to school. 
  • Students need earbuds for the assessments.
  • These assessments, along with other criteria, help us place students into appropriate classes (i.e., Accelerated Math, Challenge ELA, etc.).  These tests should be taken seriously. 
 

Student Appreciation Week 2024

We had an amazing Student Appreciation Week!  The students participated in themed spirit days along with a basketball dribble knockout competition.  We held an all-school assembly the day before Spring Break where the basketball dribble knockout championships were held, along with homeroom banner walks, and a basketball musical chairs game.  Thank you to all that purchased a Student Appreciation Week t-shirt!!!

Helping the Sugar Grove Library

Mr. Livorsi and two students answered the call for help from the Sugar Grove Library.  Part of the circulation desk at the library was cracked and needed repair.  Students Parker and Paxton, along with Mr. Livorsi, re-built a section to help stabilize the desk and a successful installation recently took place.
