The Start with Hello Program was founded by the Sandy Hook Promise Organization and is designed to bring individuals and school communities together to encourage students to look out and care for one another.  \nYoung people have the power to see someone, reach out and Start with Hello in order to reduce social isolation and create a more connected and inclusive school. Each student has the power to make a difference and make a new friend. All students and staff will have the opportunity to participate. The T. I.S. Student Council will be collecting voluntary $1.00 donations for the Sandy Hook Promise Organization.   \nMATH IN FOCUS PARENT NIGHT – PLEASE SEE THE FLYER FOR THIS GREAT PARENT EVENT  \nCLICK HERE  \n2016 KINDERGARTEN PARENT MEETING  \nBirch Grove Primary School in Tolland, CT will host the 2016-2017 Kindergarten Parent Meeting on March 10, 2016. This informational meeting is for parents of students entering kindergarten in the fall of 2016, and will be held at 7:00 pm in the Birch Grove Primary School gymnasium.  \nThe meeting is for parents only.  \nThe 2016-2017 Kindergarten registration process will begin the week of March 14-March 18, 2016. Packets may be dropped off in the Birch Grove Primary School main office each day from 9:30 am-2:30 pm. In addition, the front office will be open for registration from 4:00 pm-6:00 pm on Wednesday, March 16, 2016. Families who return their registration packet during this week, will receive a “Class of 2029” Birch Grove Primary School t-shirt for their child.  \nStandardized Testing Update  \nGovernor Dannel P. Malloy and State Department of Education (SDE) Commissioner Dianna R. Wentzell announced the implementation of a new step that will reduce testing time and expand learning time for more than 200,000 Connecticut children across over 800 schools. Changes to the application of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), impacting every student in grades three through eight, is as part of a broader effort to help districts spend less time testing students and more time teaching. As part of the new steps to reduce state testing, the performance tasks, which are often duplicative with in-class work, will be eliminated.  \nFrom the HS:  \nSAT and CAPT testing was a successful endeavor at Tolland High School on March 2! We had over 95% of our sophomores and juniors participate in testing and will work to provide access to the test to absent students in March (for CAPT Science) and on April 27 (for SAT). We thank the students for their thoughtful participation, parents for their positive encouragement for participation, and the staff for working so hard to orchestrate a very busy day.  \nPlease click HERE to see more information from the state on the SAT  \nNWEA  \nThe Winter administration of the NWEA test in reading and mathematics for all freshman students was challenging to schedule with missed days and delays that could not have been predicted. Testing is now complete and teachers are using the resultant data to focus their  \ninstruction and set goals for student growth in the second semester. Similar NWEA testing occurs in all schools and is used to measure student growth, and to set teacher goals. For more information, please contact the Superintendent.  \nMore information on the SBAC:  \n[http://portal.ct.gov/Departments](http://portal.ct.gov/Departments) and Agencies/Office of the Governor/Press Room/Press  \nReleases/2016/02-  \n2016/Gov Malloy and Education Commissioner Wentzell Announce New Step to Reduce  \n State Testing/  \nOn a related note, sign up for the Sup","cbCaiuwEfAAITVpK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuwEfAAITVpK","pdf",580924,"English","# Superintendent Notes for the Week\n## Start with Hello Program\n## Math in Focus Parent Night\n## 2016 Kindergarten Parent Meeting\n## Standardized Testing Update\n## From the HS: SAT and CAPT\n## NWEA Testing Update\n## SBAC Information and Workshops\n## Tolland High School Drama Club Presentation\n## CMEA All-State Music Festival","[{\"question\":\"What is the Start with Hello Program and how will students participate?\",\"answer\":\"It is a program founded by the Sandy Hook Promise Organization to connect students and reduce social isolation.
