Dear Medinah Intermediate Families,

Students and staff are working hard as we continue our journey of learning and growth! One important focus this next month is preparing for the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) for grades 3-5, which will take place on March 24, 25, and 26. The IAR is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their progress in Math and English Language Arts, helping us understand their strengths and areas for growth.

To help your child feel confident and prepared, here are a few tips:

✅ Encourage practice – Students can explore sample questions and online tools at IAR Practice Tests.
✅ Support healthy habits – A good night’s sleep and a nutritious breakfast can make a big difference!
✅ Promote a positive mindset – Remind your child that doing their best is what matters most.

We are so proud of our students for their dedication in the classroom, motivation to continue completing homework, and commitment to reading at home—all great ways to continue preparing and showing what they know!

We appreciate your partnership in making sure our students are ready and confident for testing. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your ongoing support!
