Teacher Appreciation Week is here and we need your help to support our amazing teachers and staff. You can sign up for as many or as few things as you'd like, and you can donate money if you don't have time to volunteer or drop off a donation. Every bit helps us to show our teachers how grateful we are for them. https://signup.com/go/ZWUSRef

Below are our spring statewide testing dates. These assessments are administrated each year and count towards our Maryland School Report each year.

Please review the dates below and avoid scheduling appointments and early dismissals/late arrivals on these dates. It is imperative that students arrive to school on time each day with their charged Chromebook each day. Students should also get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast (at home or in school) each day of testing.
