Hello from Dr. Skaggs
Preparing for State Testing
It's hard to believe we are already in the final grading period of the year. During this time a majority of our students will be participating in state assessments. We understand that these assessments can be a source of stress for our students and families. Rest assure, that our staff is committed to creating a supportive testing environment where students can demonstrate their knowledge to the best of their ability. As we prepare for testing, we encourage you to support your child by ensuring they get plenty of rest, eat a nutritious breakfast, and arrive at school on time. Additionally, please remind them to approach the tests with confidence and a positive mindset.
Together, we will continue to strive for excellence in education for every Red Devil student!
"Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out." -Robert Collier
