Our Learning Community...
Thank you for all of the love our team received this week! We truly have the greatest community!
Next week our 3rd-5th graders begin the CAASPP state assessment and our entire school community is working together to create the best possible conditions for our test takers. We know our students are more than a single test score. All standardized tests have limitations and could never fully measure the brilliance that lies within each of our students. As we prepare, our goal is to set our students up for success. Igniting the Growth Mindset traits of effort, embracing challenges, and perseverance so that our students can show what they know and feel accomplished and proud of themselves when testing is complete.
If you have a 3rd-5th grader at home, your family can join us in supporting our learners. Being at school on time, every day makes a significant difference! In addition, it is important for students to have adequate sleep, eat balanced meals, drink plenty of water, and get exercise. You can also plan enjoyable and relaxing activities outside of school during our testing weeks to keep your child feeling relaxed and positive about the testing experience. Thank you for your support!
