 Spring Edi-Field Mathletes
3rd, 4th, & 5th Grade Students were invited via email from Mr. Pluskota to register by 3/29/23 for the Spring National Noetic Math Competition, taking place on 4/17 and 4/18/23 at Edison during your child's regularly scheduled math class. Please see the emailed announcement (attached), and contact Mrs. Sharon Gecsey if you have additional questions. The Edi-Field PTA and the Reach Parent Group will be sponsoring 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade-level teams for the Spring Noetic Competition.
2nd Grade Students - If your 2nd grader is interested in participating in the Spring National Noetic Math Competition individually and remotely from home, you can register on your own for $29 via the Noetic website. (Note: You must register by Thurs. 3/16/23 to avoid the $15 late fee.) 2nd grade participants will prepare and participate at home, not at school. The PTA will not be sponsoring a 2nd grade team or individual registrations this year; however, 2nd grade participants will also be recognized at school when the Edi-Field Spring Noetic Awards are distributed to 3rd-5th graders (date tbd). Please contact Gwen Reedy if you have additional questions regarding 2nd Grade registrants.
"Edi-Field Mathletes" T-Shirts - All 2nd - 5th Grade Students who are officially registered to participate in the Spring Noetic competition can wear their "Edi-Field Mathletes" t-shirts for the Competition. Note: this is the same shirt from the Fall. If you do not yet have a shirt, you can order one here. This shirt order is ONLY for students who officially registered for the Spring Noetic Competition - either via the Google form from Mr. Pluskota/Mrs. Gecsey as a 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader or individually as a 2nd grader. Since this is a smaller, supplemental order (to the Fall bulk order), the total # of shirts ordered will determine the price per shirt (between $10-$28). Once we have a final count, I will email the group members with the price per shirt. Upon your payment to me and my receipt of the shirts, I will deliver them to your Mathlete at school as soon as they are available, prior to the 4/17 and 4/18/23 test dates. Contact Gwen Reedy if you have questions about t-shirts.
