Heritage Month
Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! Our students have been celebrating this month by experiencing cultural activities within their homeroom and specials classes. It is our hope that students are enjoying celebrating their culture or experiencing traditions they are not as familiar with throughout the school year.
Summer Opportunities
Students who are recommended to attend our JumpStart program will also receive information the first week of May.

Curriculum Corner
Spring Benchmarking
Our spring benchmarking assessment window will be from Monday, May 2 - Friday, May 13. The purpose of these assessments is to measure student growth from winter to spring, as well as to help inform teacher instruction and identify students who would benefit from additional classroom supports.
Tech Corner
Students' school-issued devices, chargers, and cases/bags will be collected on May 23. Please ensure that you are sending your student to school with these items so that they can be collected, cleaned, and inventoried over the summer.
Devices for 2022-2023 School Year
Our current grades K-1 and 3-7 will keep their current device next year. This device will be re-issued when students return in the fall. Our current second grade students will be issued a Chromebook for use next year.
8th Grade Devices
We will not be offering a buy-back program for our graduating 8th grade students this year. All 8th grade devices, including school-issued bags and chargers, must be turned in on May 23.
