Brunswick Acres Parent Newsletter
A monthly newsletter for the Brunswick Acres community
Welcome to our March Newsletter!
This has been a long, hard winter, but hopefully by the time we see you all again in April, it will be over! We are looking forward to spring here at Brunswick Acres and all the fun activities that come with it. Since our last newsletter, we had an AMAZING performance of Shrek, Jr., our 5th grade Fun Night, a very impressive District Choral Festival, and a really wonderful display of our students' talents during Entertainment Night! We also had A LOT of snow!

Genesis/Report Card News
PARCC Testing is coming up!
The best thing you can do as a parent is to keep it calm and stress-free, and make sure that they have a good night sleep and a good breakfast before they head out the door. The April testing dates are included in our upcoming events at the top of this newsletter, and the entire testing calendar can be accessed at this link. Please note that we are trying something different by splitting up the testing windows into 2 smaller sections. All grades will take the English Language Arts test, and then they will all take the Math section. We hope that breaking it up like this will give students a necessary rest in between testing sections.
For more information on the PARCC testing process, a presentation is on our website, under Quick Links. You can also access it here.
