M-STEP for 3rd and 4th Grades
Most of our students wrapped up the English Language Arts portion of the M-STEP this week. Our 4th grade and third grade will begin the math portion of the M-STEP. These state tests give us important information about our student's progress toward achievement and growth standards. Please help your children get a good night's rest prior to the test date.
Our annual Sonoma Fun Fair will be May 17th hosted by our PTA. If the weather is good, all events will be outside on the playground. This year's event will have multiple food trucks, community partners, games for the kids, and of course the ever popular dunk tank! Pre-sale tickets are available soon. More information to come!
