- The person named must commit to proctor one or more full sessions in May (8am-11:30am) when we call them back.
- This must be an adult 18 or over and have good people skills.
- This person can be a community member, your or a student's parent, relative,or friend.
- You may received up to 10 passes while we run this promotion. Get them while the getting is good.
When you have confirmed that the proctor meets all of the requirements for our EOG testing please deliver the name, email address and phone number to Mrs. Knox. Please let the proctor know that someone from the school will be calling them to confirm and then closer to the dates they will be contacted a second time as a friendly reminder. Upcoming events like Field Day, the book fair and Skate Night will be times to get those commitments from our community.
Thanks for working to help us get the resources needed to be successful!
Grades K Thru 5
Grades 3,4 &5 we are going one step further, the leadership team and I are familiarizing ourselves with the names. We will help to enforce good behavior, healthy homework habits, extra study time, test taking or whatever it takes to get 13 to equal 110.
We are quickly running out of time, but we can leave a legacy of excellence, growth and proficiency if we act NOW.

Behaviors are on the rise
Spring Fever doesn't have to make us all sick if we use our tools effectively to manage and appreciate children. Oh yeah...no more parent calls about our bad behaviors. We are role models and are held to a higher standard . . . like it or not.
No Fights
No "Accidents"
No Picking
Adopt -A- Class / Foster Classes
I did not want to get students off track from studies, learning and working; so I only planned for the 2 weeks prior to testing. Please do not interrupt our students instructional time to show your support. Make arrangements with your Foster Classroom Leader to find suitable times to drop in if the item can not be left in the teachers box or electronically delivered into the classroom. Recess and Lunch are always winning times.
You are receiving this information early so that if you need to plan, class list and counts there will be time. Have fun and make sure you keep me updated on your plans.

Summer School Grades K-3
Here is an opprotunity to keep from having summer learning loss. Be our kids CHAMPION. Teach summer school this summer. There may be various opprotunities for you to make some extra cash while helping our babies hold on to what we've worked so hard to help them gain all year long.
If interested in teaching summer school, subbing a day or two for summer school, driving a bus or even coming out as a special guest for a day or two fill out the quick survey attached to this so that I can get your information to the right people when requested.
