Bison Blurb

Mstep testing begins for 5th grade on Tuesday, April 14. Students will be taking the Science portion on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Please encourage your child to get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast. They have been working hard all year and we know they will do great!

The next PTO board meeting is on May 7 at 4:00 in the elementary school media center.

Parents Night Out:

Because we deserve recess too.

No agenda.
No fundraising pitch.
No sign-up sheets waiting at the door.

Just a casual night to connect with other parents, laugh a little, and enjoy being out without backpacks.

Where: Sonny D’s

When: April 11

Time: 5–7 PM

All parents are welcome — whether you’ve ever stepped into a PTO meeting or not.

• The pick up window will be opened next week 4/13 for the year (hopefully!) In case of bad weather, we will open door 1A to sign out at BASE.
• Paint & Paste enrichment for 3rd, 4th & 5th begins on Monday 4/13. This enrichment requires commitment for 6 weeks! This group will be working on a project that is complete at the end of the trimester.
• For the next 2 weeks, the soccer enrichment for Kindergarten, 1st & 2nd will have 2 practices a week on Tuesday & Thursdays at 4pm.
