IAR Testing is Coming Soon for Shiloh Students
Students in 3rd–8th grade will soon be taking the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR). The IAR is the statewide assessment that measures how well students are learning the Illinois Learning Standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The results help schools understand how students are progressing and help guide decisions about instruction and support. In addition, 5th and 8th grade students will also take the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) as part of state testing.
Testing Dates:
• Junior High (Grades 6–8): March 16–19
• Grades 3–5: March 23–27
While these tests are only one measure of learning, it is important for students to be present and give their best effort. The assessments provide helpful information about where students are succeeding and where additional support may be beneficial.
Families can help by:
✔ Making sure students arrive at school on time
✔ Encouraging them to get a good night’s sleep and eat breakfast
✔ Reminding them to take their time and do their best

Shiloh Teachers Learning & Growing!
Mrs. Lorenzen, Mr. Hendershot, and Ms. Harper attended the EIU Conference on Mathematics Teaching hosted at Eastern Illinois University. The conference brings educators together to share ideas, explore effective instructional strategies, and collaborate on ways to strengthen mathematics learning for students. Opportunities like this allow teachers to connect with other educators, learn new approaches, and bring fresh ideas back to the classroom.

Let's make this drive the best since we had to cancel our drive in January! The money raised goes to a scholarship for one of our Seniors, and last year we were able to provide $1100 to one of our graduates. We appreciate your participation.
Saving lives is a rewarding experience. In less than an hour, you’ll know you made a difference in the lives of patients and their families.
As a reward for your giving spirit, donors this March will get their choice of donation to a charity, rewards points, or an e-gift card!
Go to https://login.bloodcenter.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/141739 to make your appointment.
We hope to see you there!
Shiloh Junior High Shines at State Beta!
Our Shiloh Junior High students attended the 31st Annual Junior Beta Convention March 3–4 in Springfield alongside Mrs. Mixson and Mr. Allen — and what an incredible showing they had! We are so proud to share that FIVE of our students placed at the state level.
🏆 Devan Rose – 1st Place, Hand Drawn Anime
🥈 Bryer Cummins – 2nd Place, Mixed Media
🥈 Payton Keys – 2nd Place, Pottery
🥉 Lily Grise – 3rd Place, Spelling
🥉 Keagan Grover – 3rd Place, Language Arts
Even more impressive — every single one of our students was highly competitive; it would not have been a surprise to see any of them place. That speaks volumes about their preparation, talent, and dedication. Congratulations to all of our Junior Beta members on an exceptional showing at state!

BRUSH, BRUSH, BRUSH!
PIP welcomed the Douglas County Health Department to the Group Connection held last Wednesday in the PIP Room at the Newman Community Center to recognize National Children’s Dental Health Month. Speaking to families about the importance of twice daily brushing, flossing and dental checkups, Community Outreach Coordinator Summer Phillips enjoyed visiting with the children and letting them practice brushing her dragon’s teeth. Amid giggles as the dragon sometimes “dribbled” water from his mouth, littles learned about their teeth and how to keep them healthy. During craft time, families made valentines and created their own snack mix. Everyone enjoyed seeing their friends and going home with a new toothbrush goodie bag and Valentine-themed book.
