THE BEAR ESSENTIALS

Spring Break begins on Friday, March 27, 2026, and students will return to school on Monday, April 6, 2026. We are excited for our students to enjoy this well-deserved break after all their hard work this month. This is a wonderful opportunity to relax, recharge, and step away from the daily routine of school.

We encourage our students to spend meaningful time with family and friends, get some fresh air, and take part in activities they enjoy. Whether it is traveling, exploring something new, or simply enjoying time at home, we hope this break is filled with joy, laughter, and lasting memories.

As we look ahead to April, we want to share important information about upcoming state-required testing for our 9th through 11th-grade students. These assessments are required by both the state and our district, and all students are expected to participate on their assigned testing days.

Below is our testing schedule:

9th Grade
April 8 PSAT 9

10th Grade
April 9 PSAT 10

11th Grade
April 8 SAT
April 9 WorkKeys
April 10 M Step

In the past, students who were not scheduled to test remained at home. Due to recent legislation, this will be changing this year. Students who are not testing will attend school virtually in the afternoon, following this schedule:

1st hour 1:00 to 1:10
2nd hour 1:10 to 1:20
3rd hour 1:20 to 1:30
4th hour 1:30 to 1:40
5th hour 1:40 to 1:50
6th hour 1:50 to 2:00
7th hour 2:00 to 2:10

On Wednesday, April 8, 10th and 12th-grade students will attend school virtually according to the schedule above.

On Thursday, April 9, 9th and 12th-grade students will attend school virtually according to the schedule above.

We appreciate your support in ensuring your student is present, prepared, and ready to do their best on these important assessments. We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed, reenergized, and ready to finish the school year strong!

Go Bears!
