From the Principal - SBA Reminder
Dear Families,
We hope this message finds you well. We would like to remind you that our students will be participating in the Smarter Balanced Assessments on the following dates:
May 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, and 15
These assessments are an important opportunity for students to demonstrate their learning and growth over the school year. Attendance on these testing days is crucial to ensure students are able to complete their assessments on time and avoid the need for make-up sessions.
If you are aware of any planned absences on these dates, we kindly ask that you notify the main office as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.
Thank you for your continued support in helping our students succeed. If you have any questions about the assessments or testing schedule, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
