100 Days

"Dear Mama, Papa, Grammy and Grandpa: It is the one hundredth day of school. I can read. I can write. I can count 100 kisses for you. Love, Emily."

It was an exciting week of school for students in the Eagle Ridge Academy Lower School.  There was Valentine’s Day as I shared about last week, but before Valentine’s  Day was the 100^th day of school.  Teachers provided many wonderful 100^th day activities, particularly in grades K-2. Students were excited to be 100 days smarter and more knowledgeable.   Below are pictures from various classrooms and some of the projects completed on the 100^th day.  

March parent/teacher conferences are coming.  The online conference scheduling will be available on February 19^th and will close on March 5^th.  Conferences will be on March 7^th and 8^th.  Please contact your child’s homeroom teacher with any questions about conferences.  We look forward to seeing you at school to discuss your child’s progress on one of those days.

This week 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th grade students will be participating in OLPA testing.  OLPA testing is practice MCA testing.  It gives the school an idea of where students stand in regards to the standards at a time when we can make adjustments to instruction in order to increase achievement if need be.  We will send home this information as soon as it is available.  The testing days by grade level are below.  Please contact your child’s homeroom teacher for exact times on those days.

3^rd grade-February 19^th

4^th grade- February 20^th

5^th grade- February 21^st

Make Up testing on February 22^nd

The Gala for Our Pillars is on Saturday, February 23^rd at Olympia Hills.  Please see the ERA website for more information on purchasing tickets.  I hope to see you there!

Have a great week!
