Our first round of ISTEP testing was completed this week. Thanks to great attendance all fifth grade students have completed the assessments. We'll be ready for the second round of online testing later in the fourth quarter. Look here later for more details on specific dates and schedules.
BizTown
The BizTown simulation for the fifth grade Gold Team is this Monday, March 11. Students have been busy learning about economics and money management this past month and are anxious to get started with what promises to be a fun and exciting day. The Blue Team will visit BizTown for their experience on Wednesday, March 13.
1. Punctuality is very important Monday morning. The buses will be leaving Maxwell promptly at 8:00 am in order to get us to BizTown on time.
2. Don't forget to bring a sack lunch in a disposable bag.
3. Dress for success. The "business casual" mentioned in the reminder students brought home on Friday would be similar to what your teachers wear to school each day. (Nice jeans would be acceptable. Shorts and T-shirts wouldn't be.) Remember you are working at a business on Monday and are projecting the image of your business by your appearance. Take a look at the JA BizTown Tour video to visit the site and get an idea how students dress when attending BizTown.

Social Health Program
On Wednesday, April 10 all fifth grade students will take part in a social health program on human growth and development. The students will participate in the program in different rooms separated by gender. Trained Social Health teachers will conduct this program. Parents will have an opportunity to preview the program this Wednesday, March 13 at 6:30 pm at the Greenfield Intermediate School. Any parent who would prefer that their child not participate in this activity should sign the attached sheet and return it to your child's homeroom teacher before April 10.
