Mr. Hewitt's 5th Grade Students-Park Design
Wednesday night Mr. Hewitt and 10 of his students presented to the Molalla City Council their classroom idea for a new city park. The students did an incredible job with their PBL presentation. I have never been more proud! I really believe in the power of high expectations for our students. They will rise to the level of our expectations every time! Special thank you to Mr. Hewitt and his students for taking on this assignment and knocking it out of the park. If you would like to watch the presentation the link is HERE. The presentation is in the first 10 minutes of the meeting.

State Assessments 3rd-5th
Each year our third, fourth, and fifth-grade students take the Oregon state assessments. Students are tested in the areas of ELA, Math, and 5th graders also take the Science assessment. These tests will take place in the Spring and are completed during the school day. Students will take practice tests during class time to prepare them for the assessment. Families are encouraged to explore the tests as well. Families can access the sample tests here.
There is also an option to opt your child out of the ELA and Math tests. If this is something you are interested in doing, please contact our head secretary Crystal Robles and complete the attached document.
If you would like to opt-out of the Science test please send Crystal an email. Any other questions about the assessment, feel free to contact your child's teacher or Mr. Womack.
