Weekly Update
August 8th, 2023
I hope everyone had a great and relaxing spring break and will be ready to hit 4th 9 weeks!
4th 9 weeks goes by fast as we wrap up the school year, track practice is starting, we are gearing up for State Assessments (schedule is below), wrapping up final units and getting ready for Ren Fest. If you are a group that would like to have a booth at Ren Fest for the students please reach out to Chad Jackson chad.jackson@usd340.org.
Just another reminder of when our state assessments will be.
April 1st and 3rd will be Science State Assessments for 5th and 8th graders.
April 8-11 will be ELA State Assessments for all 5th-8th grade students.
April 14-18 will be Math State Assessments for all 5th -8th grade students.
Attached is the Amazon Wish List for snacks for State Assessments. Each time a student tests they are given a snack, a piece of gum and a mint or jolly rancher. With every student in the Middle School testing we like to make sure that they are fueled with a snack. This isn't made possible without the donations from all of you and we greatly appreciate all of those donations and I know the students enjoy the treats as well!
The items are just suggestion we will take anything you are willing to donate. Please bring donations to the office AFTER spring break, if you order off the list you can have it shipped directly to the school, 210 N Miller St. Meriden KS
