NWEA TESTING
Believe it or not, End of the Year Testing is beginning. Please find below Directions to Set-Up and Manage Testing Sessions, Accommodations and Testing Schedules. Review carefully. Also......
Classes testing in the science lab during lunch waves are being distracted as groups enter/exit the cafe for lunch. So, the door to the stairs to the science lab/cafe will be closed with a "testing" sign when classes are testing in the science lab. When you see this sign, PLEASE QUIETLY WALK THROUGH THE 2ND GRADE HALLWAY AND ENTER THE CAFE THROUGH THE ALTERNATE DOORS (being mindful of grade 2 working as well). This will affect the 1st, 2nd, and K lunch waves on some days. We are sorry for the inconvenience this causes, but we would like to keep our testing environments as quiet as possible. Thank you for your flexibility and support!

The Decline of Play in Preschool- and the Rise in Sensory Issues
This may have been shared already, but certainly a worthy re-look with our population. Remember, I support any and all attempts to allow kids to be kids knowing that academics only come when students are available for learning.......
