QUOTE OF THE WEEK
You miss 100% of the shots you never take.
Wayne Gretzky
WELCOME BACK
We hope that all of you enjoyed a wonderful and restful break. We look
forward to a great rest of the year.
STAR TESTING BEGINS NEXT WEEK
STAR testing begins next week. All 2nd – 5th graders will be taking the
state standardized test. Please make sure that your child is at school on
time. Students who are late will not be able to enter their classroom once
the test has begun and will need to take a make up test which changes the
atmosphere our students are used to learning in. Please ensure that your
child’s routine remains the same as usual and that they eat a healthy
breakfast. Changes in routine often cause anxiety and we want to ensure as
much continuity with your child as possible. As always, thanks for your
support.
MATH MARATHON
Our first annual Math Marathon was a smashing success. Our students had a
blast. If you have not turned in your pledge please do so by this Friday.
Thanks again for all your support and for helping make this new tradition a
great experience for our students.
KINDERGARTEN/PEPP INFORMATION MEETING
We will be hosting a K/PEPP parent meeting on Thursday, May 7 from 6:00-7:00
PM in the MPR to provide an opportunity to share information about our
school, meet the K/PEPP team and give an overview of our program.
LOST AND FOUND
We have many sad coats, jackets and lunch boxes that are missing their
homes. Please stop by the lost and found and claim any missing family
friends. The lost and found is located outside the cafeteria.
