May Begins
Hello Corvallis Family,
And it's back to being chilly.....
We have a couple of events this week:
PTA Meeting Tuesday 5/2 6-7 pm in the Teacher Work Room
Family Math Night Wednesday 5/3 Library 5-6 pm
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
We have students from many Asian and Pacific Islander origins. This month we will highlight as many of our students' cultures as possible. Everything we learn enriches us.
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is observed in the United States during the month of May, and recognizes the contributions and influence of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States.
State testing
State testing begins this week for grades 3-5. Please see the Parent Support & Resources section below. We do not believe that a test score describes our students. These assessments are an indicator of what our students know and where we should focus our teaching.
Chat with the principal is a week from today. Come to the Computer Room on Monday, May 8th from 8:45 to 9:45 and talk about volunteer opportunities.
Have a wonderful week!
