ILEARN 2025-2026 Individual Student Reports: Grades 4-5

Individual Student Reports from the 2025-2026 school year will be mailed home to families this week.  Families will also receive the Parent Portal letter that families will use moving forward to access state testing: ILEARN Checkpoints, I AM, WIDA, and IREAD results.

Parent Portal Letters Grades 3-5

Families will also receive the Parent Portal letter that families will be using to access state testing: ILEARN Checkpoints, I AM, WIDA, and IREAD results.  This is an important document that you will want to keep.  You will use this to access all of your child’s state assessment scores throughout their school years.  This will give you immediate access to your child’s results!

All Pro Dad: Begins on Sept. 28th

All Pro Dad invites you to the new school year launch at Charlestown Elementary School. APD is all about connecting Dads and their kids together through fun, creative, and interactive morning programs. Come enjoy breakfast, a character building lesson, and grow together with your child. This is for all dads (or father figures) and their kids in grades Preschool-Fifth Grade. If your child does not have a father figure available, a female adult is welcome to attend! Our Launch Party will be Monday, September 28th from 7:45am-8:45am.  Please enter door 15 and you will exit door 14. For more questions or information contact Donnie Roark, donnieroark@fca.org.
