Summer School
The Mehlville Summer Academy will be held at Trautwein this year. If you are interested in sending your child please let me know. Forms are also available in the office. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Map Testing
Map Testing for us will be Friday 4/17 and Tuesday 4/21. We will be taking them on computers this year. Each child will need to use headphones. The school has some but not enough for all of the students taking the test. We are asking if your child has headphones or ear buds at home to please bring them to school for the testing days. You can send them a day or two early and I will keep then safe until the testing day. They can be inexpensive ones from the dollar store or Walgreens. REMINDER, please remember to write a letter of encouragement to your child about map testing. Please send it in a sealed envelope and I will give it to them before the test. Also please make sure your child gets a good nights sleep all week so he or she is rested and ready to go on Friday and next Tuesday! I know mornings can be hectic, please encourage them to eat a good breakfast on these mornings.
