Dear Parents/families
Dear Upper El. families,
We appreciate all of the effort and concentration that the students have had during testing. We finished up the CMAS math assessments this week. Thank you for helping out with snacks and making sure that your student was well rested and ready to do his/her best.
We are looking forward to our sleepover at school! It will be a fun night with games, snacks, art making and a movie. Pick-up will be at 9 am on Saturday morning.
Next week:
We will finish with make-up testing and 5th graders will take the science test next week. ***5th grade parents: We are still hoping to get a few more sign-ups for snacks. Below is the sign up page. Thanks for your support!
