Weekly Update
April 10-14, 2023
Message From the Principal
We do have some makeups that we will be working on this coming week. 5th and 8th graders will also be taking two days of Science Assessments on the 12th and 13th. Make sure your student gets a good nights sleep and eats a good breakfast so they are ready for their test.
Please have a chat with your students about wrapping up the school year in a positive way. I know the end of the year is near and we all want to get outside and do all the fun things and not be in school. BUT we need to make sure we are still following rules and expectations, being respectful and kind to all staff and students, treating school property with respect and putting forth our best efforts in our school work. Just because State Assessments are wrapping up doesn't mean we stop teaching and students stop learning. We have other items to review and cover to wrap up the year and get students ready for the next grade level.
