Testing is almost over!

Dearest parents,
Testing is almost over. Your children have been absolute rock stars during testing!!!! We only have two more days to go before we are all done. Here are a couple of updates for this week.



Two more days of testing!!!!! Yay!!!!! Tomorrow, students will take the Science Section of the Milestones. Tuesday, students will take the Social Studies Section. Thanks to all parents for making sure that your children have been present every day of testing.







Our year is truly winding down.  By this Friday, students should be between 60 % and 70% of their AR goals. Please check your child's reading log to see where they are in reaching their AR goals.











Progress reports will come home tomorrow.  We  do not have many grades. However, you can see where students are academically. Also, you can see how their behavior looks as well as their AR Progress.











On Thursday, April 30, 2015, we will go to the High Museum.  Students came home with permission slips for this field trip last week. Please make sure that this slip is turned in as soon as possible.
