Welcome.
Dear LP Families:
The excitement of the Super Bowl has taken over our school! Our students were excited today - and many of them wore team colors, which was really awesome! I hope you have some fun plans for the game. I'm sure many of us will be dragging on Monday morning.
We have seen an increase in physical activity this week. I feel like some of it is that our kids are bursting with energy. Hopefully they can get outside and/or do something physically active this week.
Enjoy this last weekend of football for the season!
Sincerely,
Lucas Hiley
Principal

Changes for the 2016 Grades 3-8 Math and ELA State Exams
The NYS Education Department informed us this week that this year's state tests will look a little different. While we knew the tests were being created by a different company (Questar), we learned a few other differences for the year.
The main changes:
1. Greater involvement of educators in the test development process.
2. Decrease in the number of test questions
3. A shift to untimed testing
The Eastridge FIRST Robotics Team 3157 is busy at work on this year’s robot and with that they incur many costs and need your help!
On- going Bottle & Can Drive (see attached flier)
Robotics Team 3157 decals are available for $5.00 each (see attached)
The Team will be involved in the 2nd Annual Relay for Life Irondequoit on June 10th, at St. Kateri’s Parish at Christ The King Church, 445 Kings Highway, 14617, from 4pm-10pm. Please join our team by making a donation and or walking with us. The link is: http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLCY16EA?pg=entry&fr_id=73477
