Principally Speaking
Beginning Tuesday, April 10, all students in grades 3-5 will begin taking the MAP assessment. Testing and make-up days run from April 10th-May 4th. Please make sure your child is on time to school those days, has plenty of rest at night, and eats a healthy breakfast. All of our students and teachers have worked diligently this year to prepare for this test. We want our students to "show what they know" on those days. Please encourage you child to do their very best.
Our Kindergartner and 4th grade will be having their annual music programs in April as well. The Kindergarten performance will be on April 19th at 6:30 pm at New Mark Middle School. The 4th grade performance will be on April 30th at 6:30 pm at New Mark Middle School. We ask all guests to wait in the New Mark Lobby until 6:25 pm so students can finalize their performance with minimal distractions.
Learning does not end just because we finish our state tests. We will continue to involve your child in deep, rich learning experiences that will set the foundation for success.. I hope to see you at some of our activities. As always, it is a privilege to serve as the principal at Nashua Elementary!
