Brunswick Acres Parent Newsletter
A monthly newsletter for the Brunswick Acres community
Welcome to our April Newsletter!
It is finally SPRING!! Our flowers are finally blooming and kids are leaving their coats out on the playground again (check lost and found if need be!), so that is proof that it is finally getting warmer. Spring brings Spring Fever to students sometimes, so we hope that everyone stays focused for the last 2 months of school.
There has been a lot going on since our last newsletter!! We've had a fun and exciting Math & Science Night, an informative workshop on Social and Emotional support for our students (see below for more info), a truly amazing Chorus concert, an inspiring Autism Awareness assembly, a breathtaking Art Show, a super-fun PTO-supported Brain Show assembly, and the start of PARCC testing! No wonder I feel so tired - we've been busy! Read below for more information on all of these!
We have lots of upcoming events, so please scroll down to learn more!

PARCC Testing is Here!
The best thing you can do as a parent is to keep it calm and stress-free, and make sure that they have a good night sleep and a good breakfast before they head out the door. The April testing dates are included in our upcoming events at the top of this newsletter, and the entire testing calendar can be accessed at this link. Please note that we are trying something different by splitting up the testing windows into 2 smaller sections. All grades will take the English Language Arts test, and then they will all take the Math section. We hope that breaking it up like this will give students a necessary rest in between testing sections.
For more information on the PARCC testing process, a presentation is on our website, under Quick Links. You can also access it here.
Dismissal Reminders!
Reminder - May 23rd is an Early Dismissal Day for Teacher Professional Development/School Planning! School is dismissed at 1:35!
