Week of September 4, 2017

Thursday Folder Flyers:

Assessment Day: 
On September 21st, we will be assessing our students in the area of reading. This is also our district student count day, for which we receive funding. Teachers will be taking attendance for our records so please make sure to have your child attend. A parent or guardian must accompany each student. Students who attend BASE will be taken to their appointment by the BASE staff. OnLine Scheduler is now open until September 17th for our Assessment Day. In order to schedule a time, please use the directions below. 

To sign up, please go to the Iron Horse Website
Once you are at the website, click on the Parent Resources.

Once there, you will click on "On Line Scheduler"
This will direct you the the Online Scheduler page. From there, please select "IRON HORSE ELEMENTARY ASSESSMENT DAY" and click "Go". Then you will need to enter your student's ID number (same as their lunch number) and the password "engineer". From there, you will be able to select a date and time for your student's assessment.
