Dear 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade parents,

ILEARN testing will begin on Monday, April 15th for all third, fourth, and fifth grade students. ALL STUDENTS must have a working pair of headphones and a charger for ILEARN testing. Chromebooks have two options for headphone usage-a standard headphone port or a USB port. Should the headphone port not work on your student's Chromebook, we recommend the purchase of headphones that have a USB port, or a USB audio adapter with 3.5 mm speaker-headphone jack.

We have a small supply of gently used chargers available for purchase. The cost is $10. A brand new charger is $15.88. Please bring cash or check payable to MacArthur Elementary to the front office.

Parents, please check with your student to make sure they have both a working pair of headphones and a charger to ensure they are prepared to take the ILEARN test.

A total of 15 fourth graders signed up to join the Crown Point orchestra. These students are eager to share their musical talents and be part of the ensemble!
