News from the Principal, Mrs. Graves
State Assessment Testing
Spring Break is coming earlier this year and when we return, we'll start our state testing! Students in grades 3rd - 5th grade will participate in Elementary Language Arts (ELA) and Math testing. Students in 5th grade will take the Science test. Please look for information from your teacher and try to avoid appointments during our test times. It's difficult for students to stop the test and do their best. We want them to have the best opportunity to show what they know!
March 19 - 22 5th grade Science
April 2 - 4 3rd - 5th grade ELA
April 16 - 23 3rd - 5th grade Math

From the Health Room...Nurse Sarah
Hello, Hopefully the worst of the flu season is behind us. Please take a moment to review the parent link regarding when your kids should stay home due to illness. If you have any questions please feel free to call me.
We will be holding the expanded Dental Clinic the 25th of March. Every student will bring home a permission slip but the form only needs to be filled out and returned if you would like your child seen that day. This is for children who do not currently see a dentist regularly. Please read the form entirely and if you would like to sign your child up for Extended Care (cleaning, fluoride varnish, and sealants) please fill out the back side of the form and return it to the school nurse.
For those of you who took advantage of the free Kinsa thermometers I hope they are being of use to your families. If you did not get a thermometer and are interested please let me know.
Thanks for doing your part in keeping all our students healthy.
