Remote Learning Questionnaire for Parents
Today, the district sent out a questionnaire to all parents of elementary students to gain a commitment from families who want to have their child enrolled in a Remote Learning Program (Virtual/Blended Program) for the entire school year next year. All families are being asked to complete the questionnaire to indicate whether their child(ren) “will not participate” or “will participate” in remote learning. Directions to access the questionnaire were included in the email and families are being asked to complete the questionnaire by Thursday, April 29th. If there is not sufficient interest to meet minimum class sizes in this program, a Remote Learning Program (Virtual/Blended Program) will not be offered. The Barrington 220 Virtual/Blended Program will be considered a special program during the 2021–22 school year. Students may only participate in one special program at a time. Barrington 220 will not offer Virtual/Blended versions of Chinese Immersion, Spanish Dual Language, Special Education Self-Contained, and Extended Self-Contained.
Upcoming Illinois Assessment for Readiness
We will be administering the Illinois Assessment for Readiness (IAR) for our 3rd-5th grade students during the weeks of April 19th and April 26th. The IAR is the required standardized state testing. Our students will take three English Language Arts Tests (one per day) on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, April 21st-23rd. With 5th grade students taking their third assessment on Monday. April 26th due to a middle school visit on Friday, April 23rd. The following week, students will complete three Math tests (one per day) on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, April 28th-30th. Make-up assessments will be conducted when possible throughout the assessment window and through the following week of school.
Parents can help ensure that their children are prepared to do their best as well! Please be sure that your child:
Gets a good night sleep on the evenings before the tests
Eats a healthy breakfast on the morning of the assessments
Arrives to school on time, as some testing will begin immediately in the morning
Brings their iPad updated and fully charged
Brings their school issued headphones or earphones
Please be sure to read the official letter regarding IAR from our district. The letter addresses assessments for remote learners. Separate communication was shared with families of remote learners last week and parent responses for students participating were due today. There will be no penalty to the school or individual students if they do not participate.
