This spring your child (3rd-5th) will be taking the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) Grade-Level Assessments in order to evaluate your student’s progress toward the Missouri Learning Standards. Grade-Level Assessments provide important information that contributes to decisions concerning individual students, groups of students, and educational programs. Assessments are given in the subject areas of Communication Arts (grades 3-8), Mathematics (grades 3-8), and Science (grades 5 and 8). Our students in grades K-5 will also be taking the Spring Benchmark for iReady in both reading and math.

Please help us by having your students to school on time if it is a testing day for their grade level, as testing will begin promptly at 8:20 a.m. Testing will take place on these days for most of the day. If possible, please do not schedule appointments on these days; we would greatly appreciate it. The testing sessions will be split throughout the entire school day to give students needed breaks between sessions.

If you need to know the specific times on a day, we ask you to reach out to your child's teacher for the times. We greatly appreciate your help on having your child here on these days.

• 5th grade will test the week of April 29
• 4th grade will test the week of May 6
• 3rd grade will test the week of May 13

No medications will be stored in the nurse’s office over the summer break.

Any medication not picked up on, or before the students’ final day of school, will be disposed of.

If your child will be attending WSD summer school or ESY, and you would like your child to receive or have available medication as it is during the regular school year, please call or email me with this information.

Thank you,

Nurse karen

Hey Panthers! This year, for the first time, Wentzville School District is hosting a CHOIR CAMP! If you love to sing and will be in 4th or 5th or 6th grade next year, this is a great opportunity for you!

The camp will run from 8:00 - 12:00, June 17-20. Fun activities, snacks and lots of great music will be the daily plan. (The snacks and a T-shirt are included in the registration fee.) You can get more information and register by scanning the QR code in the attached flyer or by clicking the image.

All children who will turn five before Aug. 1, 2024, are eligible to attend kindergarten for the 2024-25 school year. View registration event dates, starting as early as Jan. 11, and get more information here.

We are not allowing any edible treats to be brought in for birthdays. Students may bring in a non-edible item for their birthday. Please check with your child’s teacher so everyone in the class receives one.

Changes to your child’s dismissal/transportation plans need to be communicated to the

teacher AND the main office. If you need to make an occasional transportation change (car rider instead of the bus, etc.) you must send a note to your child’s teacher. If that is not possible, you may call the office on the day of the change before 2:00 p.m., so the office staff has adequate time to notify your child’s teacher. You must provide a note or call each day that you want your child to go home in a different manner than usual.

To access the required volunteer registration forms and to read the Wentzville School District's Volunteer Policy click here: https://www.wentzville.k12.mo.us/Page/10282 If you have questions about the volunteer policy or forms, contact Patty in the front office, patriciaforce@wsdr4.org

Once the sign on the front drive is turned to tell you that you have arrived late, you will need to walk your child into the main office. Please do not have your student exit the car and walk in by themselves. A parent will need to walk the student in and sign them into school.
