CMAS Testing
After an enjoyable Spring Break, we are energized and ready to continue the fourth (and last!) quarter of our school year! One of the big fourth quarter events happening for our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders is the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) Assessment. We are excited for our students in those grades to be able to experience showing all the great ideas and skills they have been developing! Though you’ve received information about the assessment from the school and/or your child’s teacher/s, we wanted to make sure you had the most current information and some reminders to help your student do their best.
We will begin our assessment schedule on Tuesday, April 4th and continue through the week of April 10th (3rd and 4th grades) or through the week of April 17th (5th grade). For your child's specific grade level testing schedule, please click here. If your child receives testing accommodations, his/her schedule might vary slightly.
We ask that you avoid making appointments or travel during your child's testing times. If your child has to miss a session, make ups will be given.
Here are some things you can do at home to help this be the most positive experience for your student:
- Reinforce that this is not a situation of "good" or "bad"; we want every student to be proud of their very best work and try their hardest (just like we always do!)
- Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep the night before any school day - especially testing days.
- A good breakfast goes a long way towards making a great day.
- Getting to school on time, without rushing, is also a great way to start the day
Book Fair Thank You
A huge THANK YOU to Wingate librarian, Ashley Hesch, for setting up an outstanding book fair this year! We would also like to thank the volunteers and everyone who supported the book fair. Family purchases brought in funds to add books and other items to the Wingate library. Wingate earned $1,500 in cash and $1,200.45 in Scholastic dollars to use for library purchases.
