Davis/Martin Peek at the Week
April 23rd - April 27th
Dear Parents,
Our ACT Aspire state testing will be administered next week, April 30th - May 4th. Students will take one assessment each day, in the following order: Math, Reading, Writing, Science, English. It is very important that your child be at school that week and on time. Please help to ease his or her nerves with encouraging words. A full night's sleep and breakfast each morning will help each student be successful!
Several reminders for this week:
- Monday - THINK and TAP students will have their Heber Springs field trip. They will be back in town around 5:30 p.m.
- Thursday - Mid-quarters will be sent home. Please send them back, signed, by Monday. Girls' Club
- Friday - Reading/Math logs for April will be due today. Boys' Club
