Davis/Martin Peek at the Week
May 1 - May 5
Dear Parents,
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the ACT Aspire testing week. Each morning, students will take one of the following assessments: Reading, Math, English, Science, and Writing. It is very important that your child be at school on time. Please help to ease his or her nerves and be encouraging. A full night's sleep and breakfast each morning will help your child be successful, as well. We know our students are going to do an AWESOME job!
Students will graduate from the D.A.R.E. program the afternoon of Wednesday the 3rd at 1:30 p.m. We are also showing our appreciation towards our police officers by wearing blue that day.
Reading and math logs will still need to be worked on for homework this week.
Permission slips and money for our Wild River Country reward trip on May 19th are due by Friday, May 12th.
Mrs. Davis & Mrs. Martin
