School News:

Third grade has begun their preparations for the Wyoming state assessment, WY-TOPP. Each third grade class practices how to take the test by taking modular assessments. Students are learning how to highlight text, type in answer boxes, use graphing tools, create fractions, and use many other features. Third graders will take the assessment over three days:  April 18 (reading), April 19 (writing), and April 25 (math). Parents can help prepare their third grade student to take the assessment by serving a healthy breakfast and making sure their student gets plenty of sleep before the test.

Family Game Night sponsored by Title One – Monday, April 10 from 5:30-6:30 pm (all families from Thayne and Etna schools are invited):  

Come and play some games with us! Let’s learn how you can use those board games and card games around your house to help your child with math, reading, and critical thinking skills. We will also have suggestions on ways you can adapt the games to help your child with something they need to work on – without them even knowing! You might even leave with some ideas for birthday gifts, new favorites, or remember some old favorites collecting dust! Snacks will be provided. We hope to see you there!
