    <title>ISAT Testing</title>
    <link>http://www.emsd63.org/subsite/dist/news/2012/02/08/isat-testing-29771</link>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Students in grades 3-8 will be taking the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) March 5-16. All students in grades 3-8 will be tested in reading and math. Students in grades 4 and 7 will also be tested in science. Here are some tips to help parents prepare their students for ISAT testing:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep the night before the test&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Make sure your child eats breakfast the day of the test&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Let your child know that he or she should take the test seriously &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Encourage your child to do his or her best!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Dr. Charlene Cobb, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Executive Director of Teaching and Learning&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

    <title>Is Your Information Correct?</title>
    <link>http://www.emsd63.org/subsite/dist/news/2012/02/08/your-information-correct-29769</link>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Two editions of the Community Connection will be produced electronically. The district will email the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Community Connection&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to parents/guardians who have an email address on file with the school. Therefore, it is more important than ever that all D63 families have a current email address on file so they are not cut out of the information loop. At least 1 in 3 student households do not currently have an email address on file. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Do you? If not, call your school today!&amp;nbsp; Why don&#039;t you update all your phone numbers as well!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
