STATE TESTING

Dear 3rd-5th Grade Families,

State testing will begin on April 22nd, and we appreciate your support in ensuring a smooth testing experience for our students. Please make every effort to have your child present and well-rested during this time.

If you anticipate any absences between April 22nd and the end of testing, please let us know as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.

Thank you for your partnership in helping our students do their best!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Family Night - RESCHEDULED

We are excited to invite all Whitewood Elementary families, as well as our community members, to our annual Family Fun Night, March 6th from 5:30 to 7:00. We will begin with a light meal from 5:30 to 5:55, followed by breaking into groups for an informative parent session on a newly implemented reading program, as well as ‘Read Allowed’ groups for your children. Preschool will be set up in the hall as usual. Please accompany your preschool child as they have fun learning! Each student will receive a free book as they leave that evening. Please join us for an evening of food and fun!
