Lower School Update - May 8, 2019

The Eagle’s Nest
Two classes were awarded the Golden G award on Monday for demonstrating the Eagle Way. Congratulations to Ms. Mendonca’s second grade class and Ms. Kitto’s fifth grade class!

MAP Testing
Twice a year, our students in second to fifth grade take MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) tests. We use the information in these tests to help us understand each child’s areas of strength and areas for improvement. Parents will also be sent the result of these tests at the end of the school year. While there is no need for any of our students to study prior to these tests, we do encourage a good night’s rest and a healthy breakfast to assist with their focus.

Book Recommendation
With children using digital devices more and more, it is important to monitor what and how they use these devices.  As parents, we also need to monitor our technology use. Adam Atlar, a professor of psychology and marketing at NYU, examines addictive technology in his book: Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked.
