  • Aloha First Grade Families, 
            Starting this week, we will be administering tests for your child that will take up to 10 minutes.   The test will be conducted in your child’s classroom, scheduled by their teacher.  We will practice safety procedures when testing your child in person so that we can ensure accurate test scores. When your child comes for testing, you will also pick up their new Math packet.  
             Please let your teacher know if you would like a virtual option.  However, you will still need to pick up your child’s Math packet by Friday, Sept. 18th, from 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm.
