ISAT Week

As most of you know, Prairie Grove Schools have been recognized in recent years, for posting the highest composite average among schools in McHenry County. While ISAT tests don't summarize all of the great things about Prairie Grove, they do indicate a solid curriculum backed up with innovative classroom practices. This high academic achievement also indicates that Prairie Grove families care deeply about the education of their children.

As most of you also know, March 1st marks the beginning of the 2010 ISAT testing series. Students grade 3-8 will be tested in the areas of Math, Reading, Writing, and Science. In an effort to continue our tradition of excellence, we would like to ask families to pay close attention to the following aspects of student life that can greatly impact our scores.

-Be sure that your child gets plenty of sleep for the week ahead.
-Make time for a healthy breakfast each morning.
-Do your best not to miss any days of school during testing.
-Talk with your child about the importance of state assessments.
-Encourage your child to be confident in their abilities, and to always do their very best!!
