PTO Fundraiser

Rocke's Meating Haus has generously offered our PTO to join in a friendly competition between Morton's four elementary schools. Lettie Brown will receive 10% of the total sales at Rocke's during the week of March 15-19. The Morton elementary school that generates the highest amount of sales during its assigned week will receive an additional 10% in total sales.

The weekly sales will be based on retail store sales, mail order sales, and internet orders. Rocke's website is http://www.rockes.com/. More information will be sent home with students.

ISAT testing

ISAT testing will be March 7-10.

3/7 4th grade takes science test
3/8 3rd-6th grades take reading and math test
3/9 3rd-6th grades take reading and math test
3/10 3rd-6th grades take reading and math test (students are dismissed from school at 11:40)
3/11 No school

Please remind your child to not be anxious about the testing. Encourage them to take their time and use good test taking strategies: reading questions thoroughly, re-reading if necessary, using scratch paper/tools to complete problems, and double-checking work. Please make every effort to have students to school on time. The PTO is providing healthy snacks and drinks for the students during testing. Thank you for supporting and encouraging your child during this testing.
