• We are gearing up for our upcoming NSCAS testing.  Our scheduled test dates are:

ELA Wednesday, April 15 and 14

Math Wednesday, April 22 and 23

• At conferences, we handed out a letter explaining an opportunity for families to encourage their student during NSCAS testing.  If you would like to participate, please use two index cards to create two separate encouraging messages.  We will hand these cards to your student on the day of testing.

• On the day of testing we always want students to feel set up for success, one way we do that is making sure they have a stomach full of nutrients! Click the link to donate food if you are able, thank you! Sign up Link

• On April 24th we will be having our Human Growth and development talk. Your student is bringing out a permission slip to be signed and returned.

•  The National Park System has a program that admits all 4th graders and their families into the parks for free.  If you are interested in visiting, you can check out the link.
