ERMS students will be participating in the annual ITP tests (standardized tests) in the beginning of November 2, 3, 7, and 9. All testing will be in the first 2 hours of the morning.

*A healthy breakfast
*A healthy snack if the teacher allows
*A conversation with your student about good test taking skills
Iowa Testing Programs provides sound, accurate and actionable information for a variety of purposes and audiences including:

This school year is now in full swing — and it all started with day one. Check out this year’s first day of school video:
This year there will be no activities bus to take students home after practices.
Students who have late practice (volleyball or basketball) may either go home and return at 3:45 for practice, or they may go to the cafeteria where they will be supervised until 3:45.
Have you ever asked your student at dinner what they did at school that day and the response is, “Nothing.” ??? Now you can see exactly what is going on in all of their classes. Most are updated daily and some hourly! You will be very impressed by what you see! Please consider following your student’s classes and groups!
