PARENTS OF THIRD, FOURTH, AND FIFTH GRADERS: STATE TESTING BEGINS NEXT WEEK!
State testing starts next week! Students in grades 3, 4, and 5 will take the ELA state test on Wednesday, 4/24 and Thursday, 4/25. Please make sure that your child:
- Gets a good night's sleep the night before testing
- Wears comfortable clothes
- Is on time arriving at school
- Does not wear a smart watch to school testing days
- Brings earbuds or headphones (not allowed to be wireless)
- Is ready to give his or her very best!
Please understand (and make sure your child understands) that the state requires all cell phones to be powered off and collected by the teacher before testing begins each day. If you would prefer to have your child keep his or her phone at home testing days, that would be an alternative to having it collected and stored each testing day.
As a reminder, the testing is structured differently than other years, in that each part of the test must be completed within the day the test has started. This makes it even more important that no early dismissals OR late arrivals occur on any of the testing dates listed below! Please make sure these dates are on your calendar and that no appointments are scheduled during those times. This will give your child the best chance to give their best effort on the tests.
ELA STATE TESTING (Grades 3, 4, 5): April 24 & 25
MATH STATE TESTING (Grades 3, 4, 5): May 7 & 8
SOCIAL STUDIES STATE TESTING (Grades 4 & 5): May 9
SCIENCE STATE TESTING (Grade 5): May 15

ATTENTION FIFTH GRADE PARENTS- Message from the WELLNESS CENTER
If your child would like to participate or plans to participate in a Middle school sport, a sports physical is required.
First check with your child’s Primary care provider to see if they are up-to-date with their exam. If not, you should schedule an appointment.
If you do not have a provider, or are unable to get an appointment, we can do the sports physical at the WELLNESS CENTER.
If your child is not already enrolled, you can sign up now by using the attached QR code.
We accept insurance but health insurance IS NOT NECESSARY.
