April 2024
Dear Ludwig Parents & Families,
Ludwig's 4th and 5th grade scholars have been working hard these last two weeks on this year's Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) test. Teachers have prepped students all year to do their very best on these ELA and Math assessments, and our students have stepped up and put forth tremendous effort during each day of testing. Thank you for your support at home, ensuring your child got a good night of sleep, ate a healthy breakfast, and came to school with a fully charged iPad on testing days. We couldn't have done it without your help!
Our spring administration of FastBridge testing will be held during the last week of April. Similar to how our families helped set our students up for success on IAR, we’d ask the same on April 30th, May 1st, and May 2nd for FastBridge benchmarking. Teachers will use the data collected from this last round of localized testing to ensure students are receiving the most appropriate educational support(s), as we wind down this school year and plan for the start of the '24/’25 school year.
As we look ahead at the final month and a half of this school year, we have many fun events planned on the calendar. From step-up days, to field trips, and grade-level celebrations, there seems to be something every week. Please see the list of upcoming events below, and don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher, or Ludwig’s main office, with any questions.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support of the work we do at Ludwig School. The partnership we have with our families truly remains second-to-none, and we look forward to a great finish to the ‘23/’24 school year.
Respectfully,
Mr. Kulik
