Bounce Houses This Week
We wanted to let you know that students will be enjoying bounce activities in the gym this week! While these are always a fun and exciting part of our day, student safety remains our top priority.
Our staff will be closely supervising all activities, and we’ve reviewed safety guidelines with students to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. Please make sure your child is wearing comfortable clothing and socks on bounce day.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.

ILEARN TESTING BEGINS
Subject: ILEARN Testing Begins April 14-May 9
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Beginning Monday, April 14, students will begin taking the ILEARN assessment. This statewide test measures student growth and achievement in key academic areas and helps us better understand how to support your child’s learning.
To help your child feel confident and prepared, please keep the following in mind:
Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep before each testing day.
Provide a healthy breakfast each morning to fuel their focus.
Ensure your child arrives at school on time to avoid any added stress.
Encourage your child to do their best and take their time during the test.
We are proud of the hard work our students have put in all year, and we’re confident they are ready to do their best. Thank you for your continued support at home!
If you have any questions about the assessment or your child’s schedule, please feel free to reach out.

No Toys REMINDER
This is a friendly reminder that students should not bring toys or personal items from home to school. This includes items such as Pokémon cards, technology, balls, and similar items. These are not permitted on the bus or at school. Keeping these items at home helps prevent distractions in the classroom and reduces the chance of conflicts between students. Thank you for your help in supporting this reminder!
