From the Superintendent March tends to be a transition month with winter coming to end, we hope. It also means the end of the basketball season and the transition to outdoor activities like track and golf. With the amount of snow still on the ground both track and golf teams may be practicing indoors longer than normal. The end of March brings us even closer to spring. Note, Prom will be held this year on April 18th. The month of March also provides opportunities for our students to display their academic talents through Destination Imagination and Science Fair competitions. Spring also means it is time to start planning for next year as we follow pending legislation in Pierre this month, and the effect it will have on our school budget. We will begin to look at the school calendar for next year along with other items. It has been fun watching our student athletes, coaches and fans this year. Our teams have experienced a lot of success and their share of disappointment. The level of support and sportsmanship displayed by Elk fans has been fun to watch. Sportsmanship by our players and fans is contagious. Keep up the good work and good luck to our basketball teams the rest of the season! In the event that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, please continue to listen for school related announcements and updates by phone, television, internet and radio. So far, we have two days to add on in May. I also encourage you to check the school website for announcements posted on the home page. Please don’t hesitate to call the school, if you have questions about events happening during the month of March. Brian Jandahl, Superintendent News from the Principal Spring is on the horizon and in schools that means the beginning of assessment season. Our students in many different grades will be or have been exposed to a variety of national and state assessments. These assessments are only a small snap shot of a child’s ability, but they do provide valuable information to our schools. They allow us to reflect on our teaching practices and re‐evaluate curriculum. They also hold us accountable to the standards for specific subject areas set forth by the state. They also give parents and students a glimpse of the struggles and strengths their student displays in their academic work. Again…this is only a small snapshot of what your child can do. The best information of your child’s performance comes from their teacher. Here is a rundown of a few of the assessments given or to be given to students in the past few months: 

In January, senior students at Elkton School took part in a pilot for the state of South Dakota in the administration of the ACT National Career Readiness Certificate program (NCRC). The NCRC is an industry‐recognized, portable credential that certifies essential skills needed for workplace success. To earn certification, students must attain at least the lowest certification level on three ACT® WorkKeys assessments: Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information, and Locating Information. The NCRC demonstrates that students are ready for the workplace, as they enter the workforce immediately after graduation or pursue further postsecondary education. The National Assessment on Education Progress (NAEP) was given to our 4th and 8th graders in January. NAEP results are designed to provide data on student achievement in various subjects, and are released as The Nation’s Report Card. There are no results for individual students, classrooms, or schools. NAEP reports results for different demographic groups, including gender, socioeconomic status, and race/ethnicity. Assessments are given most frequently in mathematics, reading, science and writing. Schools are selected randomly for participation in this assessment. All South Dakota students in grades 3‐8 and grade 11 will take the Smarter Balanced Assessment in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. The Science Dakota STEP will be given in grades 5, 8, and 11. The window of testing for these assessments will begin in April and will conclude the beginning of May. The South Dakota State Test of Educational Progress (Dakota STEP) and the Smart Balanced Assessment measures students' mastery of the South Dakota State Academic Standards. In the coming weeks, you will be receiving information on how to help your child do their best on upcoming assessments. Please share these strategies with your child. Remember to communicate with your child’s teacher about any concerns you have with their academic performance or test anxiety. They can offer you the best insight on struggles and what you can do as a parent to help. As always, if you have any questions on these assessments, please feel free to contact me. Kelly Neill, Principal Preparing students for success on the new Smarter Balanced assessment This spring, South Dakota will begin using a new state assessment, called Smarter Balanced, that is based on the state’s standards in English language arts and math. This test is administered to students in grades 3‐8 and 11. It will replace the Dakota STEP test in English and math. The test was developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, a group of 22 states, including South Dakota. More than 100 South Dakota educators served on Smarter Balanced work groups as the test was being developed. The Smarter Balanced assessment was field tested in spring 2014. That practice run gave our district’s teachers and schools a chance to practice test administration procedures, and students the opportunity to experience what will be expected of them on the new assessment. Since the field test, a number of South Dakota educators have served on panels to help set achievement levels for the new test. Delivered entirely online, the Smarter Balanced assessment offers significant improvements over multiple choice, paper‐and‐pencil tests of the past. Students now have the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge in a variety of ways. Writing is required at every grade level, and performance tasks ask students to demonstrate an array of research, writing and problem solving skills. This variety in test items means test results will provide a more meaningful picture of what students know and can do. The new test also offers expanded accessibility features to better meet the needs of all students. Because the new assessment measures student mastery of new, more rigorous standards, student performance on Smarter Balanced should not be compared to performance on Dakota STEP. Any time a new test is introduced, there will be a period of adjustment as students become familiar with the new concepts being assessed. If you must compare results of the two tests, expect to see a drop in the number of students demonstrating proficiency (Levels 3 and 4). This should not be cause for alarm; it means we are challenging students and preparing them for the rigors of postsecondary education and careers in today’s world. It is also important to remember that your child’s score on the state assessment only reflects their performance at one moment in time. Throughout the school year, your student’s teachers continually measure his or her progress through a variety of methods. If you have questions or concerns about the new test, please contact me or your child’s teacher. I also encourage you to try a practice test by visiting http://commoncore.sd.gov/assessment.aspx. Early Childhood News Little Visitors Week at Preschool April 20, 21, 23, 24 “Learning and Growing through Meaningful Play” Do you know of someone who will be four years old by September 1st, who is interested in attending the Elkton Preschool next fall?

March Kindergarten Newsletter We are looking ahead and are VERY excited to see Spring on the calendar! We have read several books in Reading including Flower Garden, In the Rain with Baby Duck, Fiesta, Hush! A Thai Lullaby, Three Little Kittens, and Five Little Ducks. We are working on making predictions before we read, while we read and also at the end of the story. The students are learning how to use the illustrations to make predictions about a story and to figure out unknown words. They also worked on the elements of a story including plot, setting, theme, and character. We have done many activities with the letters C and D. The students are able to read simple stories and pick out many words. In math, we have been working on measuring with objects such as linking cubes and popsicle sticks. They have been doing addition problems with pictures and determining which number is greater. During Social Studies, we studied the various presidents and focused on Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. In Science, we have been covering weather and seasons. We talked about Groundhog Day in the beginning of February and made predictions about how much longer winter would be. We also discussed clothing for winter, signs of winter, and activities to do during the winter. Mrs. Jensen Kindergarten Screening Who: All children that will be 5 years old by September 1, 2015 that plan to attend Kindergarten 2015‐2016. When: Thursday, April 9th from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Where: Elkton Public School Please call the Elkton Public School at 542‐2541 by Friday, March 27 to set up an appointment with Karla or Annette. Mark your calendars:
*Kindergarten Visitation is Monday, May 18 from 9 a.m.-11 a.m. in the
Kindergarten room. This is for children age 5 (by September 1st) that will be
attending Kindergarten in the Fall 2015 in Elkton.
*Kindergarten Graduation is scheduled for Friday, May 15th at 9:15 a.m. in
the North Gym. 1st Grade – McCutcheon I want to thank all the parents for all the wonderful treats that were sent to school on Valentine's
Day and a special thanks to Jezra Kinner, Melissa Wiskur, and Stephanie Kuemper-Tibbs for the
refreshments in the Cafeteria. We appreciate the time you took to help make the occasion extra
special. The students had a great time!
Our school year is rapidly going by. As we continue throughout the year, I would like to
thank the parents for their help with Star Reading (listening to your child read every night),
helping your child learn their Spelling words and most recently Journal Writing. The Journal that
is sent home every week is a very important tool in helping your child with their writing
skills. When your child writes, they are putting down on paper "what they want to tell." The
skills needed to do this are handwriting, spelling, language, sentence order, vocabulary, and
reading. Writing is such an important part of your child's growth in 1st grade, so the help that
you are giving them on this one assignment carries over to all of the above areas.
We have recently finished a Math unit in measurement and will start a new unit working more
in depth with numbers and story problems.
Conferences will be on March 17. I am looking forward to talking with you at that time about
your child's progress. Thanks once again for your help and support.
1st Grade – Gunderson February, which is the shortest month and also had a four‐day weekend, came and went quickly! We learned about and celebrated several special days during this short time, including Groundhog Day, Valentines Day, Presidents Day, and Chinese New Year. We had a really fun Valentines Day part, and we thank the parents who were able to help out. We have been learning a lot in our special classes and in the classroom. For example, in math, we are just finishing up a measurement unit during which we were able to find out which fish were “keepers”. We will next learn more advanced addition and subtraction. Having worked on addition and subtraction facts at home with our families each week will help us with this next unit. We continue to read about a variety of topics at school and at home. In addition to writing at school, we are now writing in our draw and write journals at home and sharing our writing with our classmates at school on Fridays. We continue to learn about the sounds and spellings of the English language, and we are especially focusing on short versus long vowels and finding each in our books. A highlight of each month is show and tell, which takes place on the last Friday in each month. We enjoy sharing information about something that is important to us, as well as listening to others describe something that is important to them. 3rd Grade Fun!
3rd grade tied 2nd grade in the hungry games competition. They win ICE CREAM PARTY!
The weather is starting to warm up a little. Please continue to send your child with a coat, hat, gloves, snow pants, and snow boots! Also, don’t forget to sign your child’s assignment sheet! For Math, students have working on making and reading graphs. If you see graphs in papers or magazine encourage your child to look at those items. Also, encourage your child to use multiplication and division when possible. For Reading, students are still working on picking their own books! They have developed a love for chapter books! Students are also taking Accelerated Reading tests over their own books and the books I read to them. Please encourage your child to read at home and test over those books as well. For Spelling, students practice their spelling words at school. The still enjoy doing word searches the most! Please have your child study their words at home. For English, students completed a packet about President’s Day. We also read a book filled with President’s facts! In writing, they are writing short papers which allow them to be creative.

In reading, students work in their Daily Five groups. They are enjoying short stories and working on specialized vocabulary. They are also focusing on expanding vocabulary, comprehension, accuracy, and fluency skills. In English, students continue working on their grammar skills, spelling skills, book review skills, and writing skills. In writing, students are working on their persuasive writing skills. In science, 4th graders are learning about changes to the Earth’s surface. In social studies, students will continue learning about the land and the people of the Midwest.

Front row from left to right: Ryan, Tyler, Riley, Marcus, Portia, and Brendon Notes from the Nurse March is National Nutritional Month; this annual event reinforces the importance of developing sound eating and physical activity habits. The theme for 2015 is “Bite into a Healthy Lifestyle”, which encourages everyone to adopt eating and physical activity plans that are focused on consuming fewer calories, making informed food choices and getting daily exercise in order to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, reduce the risk of chronic disease and promote overall health. A healthful lifestyle, with regular physical activity and an eating pattern chosen to meet individual nutrient needs within calorie limits, is vital to maintaining food health and quality of life. A healthy eating plan emphasizes beverages, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat‐free or low‐fat milk and milk products, seafood, lean meats and poultry, eggs, bean, nuts and limits foods with added fats, sugars and salt. Nutrient needs should be met primarily through consuming foods. Foods provide an array of nutrients and fibers that have beneficial effects on health. An eating pattern based on the Dietary Guidelines and MyPlate recommendations can accommodate the food preferences, cultural traditions and customs of many diverse groups. The website www.choosemyplate.gov has the most current nutrition guide published by the USDA. MyPlate can help you use the Dietary Guidelines to: *Find your balance between food and physical activity to manage your weight *Reduce food and food components linked to increased health risks * Increase food and nutrients that promote health while staying with your calorie needs *Build a healthful eating pattern www.choosemyplate.gov www.eatright.org FCCLA News The Elkton FCCLA Chapter has had a busy past month. The February Meeting was held on February 2nd in the FACS Room. National FCCLA Week was held the following week from February 9th‐13th. This included many activities including the Steal‐A‐Heart Days, Red Day, the 6th Grade Recruitment Party, the Member and Teacher Recognition Meals, Valentines Sales, and The Canned Food Drive. All events went very well. Thank you to everyone who contributed and/or donated food items! During the last couple of weeks, members of the Parenting Class have been busy making posters to raise awareness about two trending topics: teen pregnancy and drug abuse. The posters that they made, loaded with facts and statistics about these topics, were hung around the school to raise awareness. Joanna Boll, as a member of the South Dakota FCCLA Trends Team, led the project. The Chapter plans to pursue more projects in these areas of concern. Huge thank you goes out to the students in the Parenting Class who took initiative in making posters and also to those who hung them up. The March Meeting will be held March 16th in the FACS Room. Members who attend will not only be able to contribute conversation in the important topics, but will also receive participation points in the point system, which are needed to attend the State Leadership Conference. The Parent‐Teacher Conferences will be held on March 17th. Members are excited about the opportunity to babysit kids whose parents are meeting with the teachers. The service is free of charge to parents and will include many engaging games and activities for children. The STAR Event Open House will take place on April 9th in the FACS Room, an event which anyone is welcome to attend. The will provide an opportunity for members to showcase their work as they prepare to compete at the State Leadership Conference, which will be held from April 26th‐29th. Members who win in their STAR Event division at State will advance to the National Leadership Conference, which will be held in July in Washington D.C.

State reading programs: Prairie Bud, Prairie Pasque and YARP (Young
Adult Reading Program) are all wrapping up. All voting ends March 31 and
votes from across South Dakota will be tallied and the winners will be
announced during National Library Week in April.
A note on Accelerated Reading: Do you want to know if a certain book is
“testing?” Log onto www.arbookfind.com and type in the title to see the
reading level, point value and interest level. Interest Level is based on a
book’s content-its themes and ideas-not its reading level. For example, a
book may have a 4.3 reading level, but have content that is better suited for
8th grade. Interest Level does not equal Grade Level. Interest Level is
grouped into these categories: LG=Lower Grades (K-3); MG=Middle
Grades (4-8); MG+ =Upper Middle Grades (6 & up); and UG=Upper Grades
(9-12).
