Dear Medinah Intermediate Families,

Our students will be taking the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this upcoming week. This is an important opportunity for students to showcase their learning and demonstrate all the progress they have made this year.

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

✅ Get plenty of rest – A well-rested mind is ready to focus!
✅ Eat a nutritious breakfast – Fueling the brain helps with concentration.
✅ Arrive on time – A smooth start to the day makes a difference.
✅ Stay positive – Encourage your child to take their time and do their best!

We also want to hear from you! Please take a few minutes to complete the 5Essentials Survey, which provides valuable feedback that helps shape school improvement efforts. Your input is essential in making our school the best it can be! You can access the survey HERE.

Thank you for your continued support. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Natalie Czarnecki
