Tests, Tests and More Tests

Hello Parents,

The students did a great job on their MSTEP testing. I am very proud of them for taking their time and answering the questions to the best of their ability! 

For next week, we have many subject tests coming up. We will have a math test on Tuesday, a science test on Wednesday, and the social studies test on Thursday. As the weather gets warmer, and weekends are filled with activities, it is important to make time for academics. Please make sure your student is finding time to do their homework. 

Here are some announcements:

Book Fair is Next Week, from Monday, April 17th to Friday, April 21st. Students will have time to explore the book fair before and after school. Also, we will visit the book fair on Thursday, April 20th, during our library time. If your student is interested in purchasing books and items from the book fair, that would be the perfect day to bring money for the book fair. If your student brings money on a different day, then they can go during snack to purchase items from the book fair.
