Message from the Principal:
Spring is here, and with it comes testing season! This is an important time for our students to show what they've learned, and we appreciate your support in helping them do their best.
Testing reminders:
- Ensure students arrive on time and well-rested
- Eat a healthy breakfast the day of the test
- Hydrate the day before the test
- Ensure a positive mindset-remind your child that effort matters!
- Limit screen time the night before tests to support better sleep
- Remind them to take their time and do their best.
Thank you for being our partners in learning! As always, reach out with any questions.
Your Principal,
Mireya Lara
