Middle School Aviators - Week of May 17, 2021

Parents,

It is hard to believe that this coming week will be the last week before our End-of-Grade Tests. In order to be prepared for the tests, I have included some helpful hints to ensure the students are all ready for success:


  • Get a good night's rest
  • Don't forget your iPad
  • Charge your iPad the night before so you are "fully charged" ready to start the test
  • Bring a charging bank with you to keep your iPad charged during testing times
  • Bring a water bottle to keep with you at your desk
  • Don't forget your mask (required while in the building)
  • Come with a positive attitude and DO YOUR BEST :)



Testing Starts - Monday, May 24 - Thursday, May 27 (see schedule below)



All the best -
