Families,
Happy Spring Break Week! I hope all of you have a wonderful week. I hope the students are able to relax and rest up for the last push of the school year! If you are traveling, safe travels and bring back some warmth and sunshine!
As we are nearing the end of this school year, we will have several days that we are testing. Upcoming tests include our final NWEA-MAP and the state test, MSTEP. Students will be taking the MSTEP on April 17 and 24. I will send out our NWEA-MAP testing dates soon. Please try and have your students in attendance on testing days. Thank you!
Third Grade will be taking a field trip to John Ball Zoo on May 10th. Permission slips will be coming home the week we return after break.
Have a great week,
Mrs. Arends
