Concord Families,

I want to share with you a couple of updates as we kick off March. 

CogAT

Students in grades 2 and 4 are bringing home their CogAT results today.  Students took these tests in January. More information is available at the link below.

Student Information Forms

As we look to planning for next year below you will find a link to our student information form.  These forms are used to help me as the prinicpal and our staff create classes for next year.  I am not able to take requests for individual teachers.  The link below will take you to the form.  We will also have the form available on the Concord website next week. 

Parent Input Form 2012-13 

MAP Testing

All students will take a spring MAP test.  Testing started yesterday.  Please read carefully teacher newsletters to know which day your child will be taking their test.  The tests are in two subject areas - math and reading.   Follow the link below for more information.

Conferences

Conferences are scheduled for Thursday, March 8th.  We hope you take this time to connect with your child's teacher.  Please contact your child's teacher to set up a conference if you have not already done so.  Parent - school partnerships are key to student success. 

To conclude...a happy birthday to Dr. Suess!
