Thank you for your continued effort to sell coupon books! The official sale ends on Monday. Get your final orders in if you haven't already. Thank you for buying tickets to Fork and Gavel. The tables sold out on the first day! There are still lots of tickets and opportunities to be involved. We look forward to celebrating with many Normal Park parents there.
Benchmark assessments are administered by Hamilton County Schools three times per year. Students in grades 1-8 will begin these assessments this week. Please encourage your student to do their best effort as we would expect every day. However, we do not want students to be stressed out as they are only one measure teachers use to see how students are progressing in their learning. Teachers will use the data from these assessments to inform their instruction for the second quarter. Students in grades 1-5 will take the assessments on paper and students in grades 6-8 will take the assessments online. Here is the benchmark schedule for tests given over the next two weeks. Individual grade levels or classes may make adjustments due to their LE schedules.
Benchmark Date Grade Level Content
Wed. 9/28 1-8 Reading
Thur. 9/29 2-8 Writiing
Fri 9/30 4-8 Science
Mon 10/3 4-8 Math
Mon 10/3 3 Science
Tues 10/4 6-8 Social Studies
Tues 10/4 1-3 Math
We look forward to celebrating student learning at Exhibit Nights October 5 and 6. Make sure to mark your calendar and come with your student(s) to see them showcase their work.

Guitar Tuning with Mrs. McKee: Thank you all for responding to my request for help with the guitars! Having multiple volunteers is fantastic because the guitars get used a bunch during the week and the Jasmines get out of tune really quickly. The guitars aren't used from 8:00-11:00, and 1:35-2:15 each day, so coming during those times or after school would be best.
