ACAP Summative Assessment Testing Schedule
Greetings SES Parents and Guardians,
Sherwood Elementary 2025-2026 Theme
“One Team, One Mission: Stronger Together, Right Now”
Thank you to all of our parents and guardians who made sure their scholars were present and on time during ACAP testing—we truly appreciate your support in helping our students do their very best!
We are excited to share that we are almost at the finish line. Next week, we will be completing a few remaining accommodations and make-up testing sessions to wrap everything up.
To celebrate our scholars’ hard work, focus, and dedication throughout the testing period, students in grades 2–5 will have the opportunity to attend a Clingstones baseball game! This experience will be fully funded by our school, with special thanks to our P.E. department for making it possible.
As we close out testing, we encourage you to take a moment at home to celebrate your scholar’s efforts and the milestones they have reached this year. Their perseverance and growth are truly something to be proud of!
Thank you again for your continued partnership and support.
