Important Reminder for 3rd & 4th Grade Parents
This is an important reminder that ISTEP begins April 19th and runs through April 26th. It is important that your child be in attendance when their class is testing. Please be sure that your child's iPad is fully charged each day of testing.
How can you help your child?
- Ensure that your child gets a good night’s sleep.
- Ensure your child has a good breakfast.
- Encourage your child to do their best and be proud of his/her effort.
We appreciate your continued support and dedication to your child's success. In the event of an absence on an actual testing day, makeups must occur prior to May 4th. If you have any questions regarding ISTEP please contact Kassy Morales, Assistant Principal.

2018-2019 School Supply Kits
Information on how to order was sent home with students this week. Please note that we are only taking online orders this year. Please do not send cash or checks to school.
To place your order online, visit www.shopttkits.com. There you will be prompted to enter the school code #30446. You will then select the grade level of your child for the fall.
The deadline to order is May 4, 2018. Please be sure to enter the correct information so your child will receive the correct supply kit. If you are interested in purchasing a kit, please do so soon! Once the deadline passes, kits will no longer be available for sale.
Remember, you are not obligated to purchase a supply kit through "SchoolKidz" -- You may always purchase materials on your own once the supply list for each grade is posted on our website in June.
