With this week's organizational meeting with the Class of 2021, Case families should reiterate to their students the need to be in school ON TIME during these testing days. Cell phones/SMART devices are not allowed in the testing areas. Students are strongly urged to keep them in lockers during the scope of the two-day exam.

And finally....World Down Syndrome Day
World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) is a global awareness initiative that has been backed by the United Nations since 2012.
It has been spearheaded by Down Syndrome International, which has linked up with national charities across the world to develop activities and events to raise awareness and support for those living with Down Syndrome.
Swansea Public Schools asks for people to consider wearing blue and yellow this day.
One additional option: Coordinators of this global event are asking people to "Join us wearing brightly colored socks, long socks, printed socks, 1 sockā¦ even 3 socks for 3 chromosomes." The point of this #lotsofsocks movement is to wear something that others will ask you about so that you can tell them all about WDSD.
I will proudly wear two of the craziest socks I own in addition to blue and yellow. I hope you will join me Thursday in our district-wide quest for #inclusivity and #connectivity.
Cheers!
