BES Principal Newsletter
April 14, 2023
Good evening BES families,
MSTEP testing is underway and our third graders have completed their ELA test. Next, our fourth and fifth graders will begin testing. Fourth grade will take the ELA and math test as our 3rd grader completes their math test. Our fifth graders have four tests to finish; ELA, math, science and social studies. Please be sure your student is here at school, well-rested and breakfast eaten so they can do their best on the tests. Thanks for your support!
Our Super Kids Day is scheduled for Friday, May 5th. See the flyer below for more information! If you have any questions you can reach out to our PE teacher, Bekah Vandemark, at vandemarkrl@byron.k12.mi.us. We hope you can join us on that super fun day!
Our feature Teacher Wish List this week is Mrs. Laura Leask! Mrs. Leask grew up in Brighton, MI, and still often returns there. She moved to Grand Rapids to attend college and graduated from Grand Valley State University. While in college, she also worked at a zoo and taught people about zoo animals. She started teaching at Byron Elementary in 2008 and is now in her 15th year of teaching. She has taught second, third, fourth, and sixth grade. She and her husband live in Williamston and have three daughters ages 7, 4, and 2. In her free time, she enjoys reading, doing arts and crafts with her daughters, and snuggling with her Goldendoodle, Bruce. Click here to access Mrs. Leask's Amazon Wish List!
As always, please reach out if you have any questions, concerns or wonderings. I will always do my best to answer those or look into anything and get back with you. I can be reached at 810.266.4671 or at johnson@byron.k12.mi.us
Educationally Yours,
Mrs. Johnson
