i-Ready

SPS is using the i-Ready Diagnostic adaptive assessment program to identify the academic strengths and weaknesses and opportunities for growth of each student. Our 7th and 8th graders will work on i-Ready during Study Skills periods. Please see the i-Ready Parent information slideshow attached below for more information. The PDF version of the parent slide show is also posted on Google Classroom. Our third diagnostic testing took place during the end of May and results will be sent home to parents. 

Covid Screening Survey

As per NYS guidelines, parents will be required to complete a short Covid Screening survey for their child each day by 8AM please. This survey will be completed on a new App called PickUp Patrol. This App will also be used for parents to alert the school of any change to their child’s dismissal. 

Student Absences
It is necessary for any child who stays home from school or is sent home from school with any of the symptoms consistent with a COVID-19 infection to remain home until there is a clearance note signed by a doctor.  Please see the "Medical Clearance Information" posted on the SPS homepage for more information. Please send in an absence note to your child's homeroom teacher for all absences.
Thank you!

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

Buses will drop off students in grades 7 & 8 at Msgr. Purick Hall (MPH)  Teachers will conduct temperature checks each morning.    

7th/8th Grade Parents who are dropping off or picking up students are asked to please use the circular driveway behind the parish rectory on Clinton Avenue. Please pull into the driveway in a single line. Teachers will be there to direct you. Please do not get out of your car.
If you are picking up your child at dismissal or picking your child up early, please send in a 'walker' note to be given to the homeroom teacher. Please be sure to indicate who will be picking up your child. 
Please do not email your child’s teacher with changes in dismissal.
We ask that all students (including remote learners) use the new Pick Up Patrol PUP App  to manage changes in dismissal. Thank you!

Thank you for all of your help and support!!
