Hello CIS Families!!

CPIS PTO is excited to let you know Saturday, April 20 from 9-noon is our annual Spring Fling. Please see more information below.
Severe Weather Awareness Week
Please see the information regarding our drill on Thursday (tomorrow).
MCA Tests Reminder
Students in grades 3-5 will complete the math and reading MCA test on:
April 16, 17, 23 and 24 from 8:00 - 9:15
Grade 5 students will complete the science MCA test either April 29 & 30 or May 1 & 2
I talked to students at our assemblies on Friday, highlighting that, while these assessments are very important, the main thing is for students to do their very best. We want to make sure we are getting accurate information about what the students know and also about CIS. Teachers are reminding students to focus on the following during testing:
- taking their time, read all items/areas carefully, read all answer choices before selecting one, double check their work and when possible, use scratch paper!!
If you have any questions regarding the MCA, please contact your child's teacher or me.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you!

Minnesota Severe Weather Awareness Week
This week is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Minnesota! Cambridge Intermediate (along with Cambridge Primary and Early Childhood) will be conducting a Severe Weather Drill on Thursday, April 11 at 1 pm. Much like our fire and lockdown drills, this drill will prepare us on how to respond during an actual weather emergency. During the drill students will quickly and quietly move to their designated area and get into the "take cover" position - face the wall, crouch low on their knees, head down and cover the back of your head and neck with their hands/arms. For the drill, students will be in this position for around 30-60 seconds.
Prior to the drill, classroom teachers will review the information mentioned above. The students will also hear a message given over the PA explaining what is going to happen, the reason for the drill and what the expectations are for students and staff.
Please contact your child's school if you have any questions.
