ISATs are coming up!
Our ISAT assessments begin next week for our 3rd through 5th grade students. We will be assessing on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting April 18 at 9:15 am. This is our time for our students to "show what they know."
There are a few things you can do to help set your child up for success. Please make sure your child...
- Gets a good night's sleep
- Eats a good breakfast (at home or at school)
- Arrives on time
Let's work together to build their confidence and remind them that they are capable and ready for these assessments!

McMillan would not be the same without the six of you. Thank you for everything you do!

She is being recognized by her co-teacher, Mrs. Stadler.
Mrs. Stadler shares that Ms. Arroyo is the epitome of professionalism, high expectations (for herself and her students), and hard work. Her students are kept at high levels of learning throughout the instructional day. She always prepares her lessons with care and thought, and Mrs. Stadler is grateful to work with her every day.

Have you ever painted snow before?
How is it different than painting on paper?
What happens if we use more than one color?
What happens if we bring the snow inside?
Our preschool students were able to practice their art and science skills in the snow this week by exploring the answers to these questions and more.
Great thinking, Eagles!
