MSTEP Testing Continues This Week for 3rd, 4th & 5th Grade
Each spring, the State of Michigan and the US Department of Education (USDE) require us to assess students in certain subject areas through the M-STEP, PSAT and SAT. The assessments provide the district with a snapshot of student achievement at the state, district, and building levels. Individual student results will also be shared with parents.
The tentative assessment dates for M-Step are as follows:
3rd Grade
Tuesday, April 25 - Math
4th Grade
Monday, April 24 - ELA
Tuesday, May 2 - Math
5th Grade
Wednesday, April 26 - Math
Thursday, May 4 - Social Studies
Wednesday, May 10 - Science
6th Grade
Wednesday, May 3 - ELA
Tuesday, May 9 - Math
Please ensure that your child is well rested on their testing day. They should come to school with a fully charged iPad .
Please note- We have makeup days built into our testing schedule, so if your child is exhibiting any symptoms of illness on their testing day- be sure to keep them home.
Also, due to recent updates in State testing procedures, cell phones, smart watches, and any bluetooth device (including headphones) MUST be secured during testing. We encourage students to leave these devices home on testing days when possible.When not possible, devices will be powered down and secured during testing.
We are Building Good Readers!
March was a great reading month for our students! The month was filled with so many great guest readers, fun activities, events, and lots of reading! All students that have met their calendar reading goals received an ice cream sandwich, lego bookmark, and a free baseball ticket to watch a game at Jimmy Johns Field! In addition, the 5 top readers from each class received a book from the Disney media center and the top reader from each grade level received a gift card to Barnes and Noble! Thank you to our PTO for helping to award our top readers!!

Dress Code
As the weather warms, now seems like an appropriate time to revisit the dress code. This is a district policy, which is accessible as part of our Student Code of Conduct. The purpose of our dress code is to make sure that our students are dressed for learning success. Parents will be called to bring a change of clothing when students do not follow the district policy.
Here are some of the most pertinent dress code guidelines. The following types of clothing are inappropriate for school and WILL NOT BE ALLOWED :
● Hats, caps, hoods, bandannas, or other head coverings
● See-through clothing or clothing that reveals students’ midriffs, bottoms, or undergarments
● Shorts, skirts and dresses shorter than the tip of the student’s index finger when arms are hanging down.
● Clothes or accessories displaying offensive words and symbols including those related to alcohol, illegal/controlled substances, tobacco products, weapons, sexual references and/or language disruptive to the educational process.
● Beach-type footwear with exposed toes that can be dangerous during recess play. Sandals with heel straps are allowed.
