We made it through our first week of testing. I am so proud of how hard our kids worked to show their best! We have 2 more days for math! I know they can do it! :)
Letters of intent for enrollment next year are due this week. Please fill this out and return it as soon as possible. You MUST include a proof of residency as stated on the form. Any returned without proof will be sent back home. If you see it in your child's folder after already filling out, please attach a proof of residency.
We finish our Milestones testing this week. We will test for 2 days in Math this week. They have worked so hard already and I know we will finish strong this week.
There are to be NO devices on testing day. No smart watches of any kind. Please just don't even let them wear them. Also, any child that has a cell phone will need to leave it off and in their backpack. Thank you for your help with this matter. :)
If you provided testing treats for our class, THANK YOU! They have been such a blessing to our kids after all of their hard work. If you have signed up, please remember to send them in on or before your designated day!
