From the Head of School...
As the end of the school year approaches and weather gets nicer, it can be tempting to miss school days for other activities. Please keep in mind that April and May are months filled with teaching and final assessments. If at all possible, please refrain from pulling your student out of school during these last weeks. Time missed means make-up time on assessments and classwork.
In addition to our regular end of the year assessments, our students in grades 3-8 will be participating in the spring AZ state tests during the month of April. We are eager to see how we compare with other Arizona schools. This data will help us to make future decisions about programming, and will also help to highlight our exceptional academic program. All students in grades 3-8 will complete the state ELA (English language arts) and math assessments (the AASA), and students in grades 5 and 8 will complete the AzSCI science test. Your child's homeroom teacher will share with you the schedule for assessment. Please be sure that your child is well rested and arrives at school on time each test day.
Below, you can see more information on the AASA and the AzSCI. Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Dr. Stephanie Nardi
Head of School
U.S. Open Teacher of the Year
