A Note from Ms. Deal
Dear Parents,
Field Day was a huge success. The kids enjoyed themselves and Mother Nature cooperated!
Next week will being with Day 3. The students will have P.E on Tuesday and Thursday.
Thank you for the patience and understanding regarding NWEA MAP Tests. There were some technical issues this week and we were unable to take the tests. I know the students were extremely disappointed (Haha!). Next week we will take them all: Math on Wednesday morning, Reading on Thursday morning and Language on Friday morning. Please help the kids get enough rest the night before testing and eat a nutritious breakfast in the morning.
Please note that the Music Concert will be on, Tuesday, May 24th at 6:30. Students should arrive to their classroom at 6:15. Dress for the concert is anything black and white. Please not writing or logos on the tops.
Thank you for looking over the Business Plans with the students. I am very excited about this year's Market Day. We have some very creative ideas. I hope you will all be able to join us for the event on June 7th from 8:00-11:30.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you,
Ms. Deal
