PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Spring is truly in the air! It's great to see our fruit trees starting to blossom, and the grass turning greener in our pastures and yards. The energy at school is also on the rise as students are able to enjoy warmer temperatures and get outside their classrooms more often. As I'm writing this note, Mr. Eyler's 8th grade math class is learning having their algebra lesson at the table on our front yard! Many of our classes have field trips/outdoor ed trips planned late April or early May, so keep an eye on the school calendar to make sure students have returned their permission slips, have packed a lunch, and have all the items they need for their trips.
Thank you families for your support of our students during the spring testing season. Our students are off to a great start on their CMAS tests. Mrs. Savory has done a great job of condensing our schedule so that the majority of students finish testing before next week's Spring Vacation. Keep sending your students to school well rested, well fed, and motivated to do their best!
Enjoy this wonderful time of the year in the North Fork Valley!!

I Matter is open to youth 18 or younger, or 21 years of age or younger if receiving special education services.
