Spring MAP testing begins Tuesday, April 8.  Please make an extra effort to ensure your child arrives on time, eats breakfast, and has a snack on testing days.  While MAP is only one snapshot of how your child is doing, it does provide valuable data to help teachers plan instruction to meet your child's learning needs and evaluate our academic program.  NEW: Students may bring mints on their testing days (no gum or other candy). 

All families are invited to attend our annual STREAM Showcase on Wednesday, April 23 from 6-7:30 p.m.  All K-8 students will have projects displayed.  Also, families are invited to participate in hands-on activities and enjoy free pizza!  Any student who attends may have a uniform break on Friday, April 25.  As part of our sustainability initiative, please bring your own water bottle.

What is STREAM?  It is an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, and Math.

What kinds of activities will there be?

• Art show

• Robotics

• Roller coaster simulations

• Tours of garden and green house

• Science experiments

• And more!

Would you love to hear your child say, “Will you please read with me tonight?”

A special invitation to parents of children who attend the Book Nook. Mrs. Bunch will be sharing tips that will help make summer reading a healthy and pleasurable experience for you and your child. Reading to and with your child is one of the most beneficial tools for raising a successful and prolific reader.

Thank you so much to our guest speakers for sharing their knowledge with our students for Celebrate Our Differences month! 

Thank you to the families who completed the technology survey.  We received 115 responses.  The technology committee reviewed the answers in our meeting earlier this week.  These were some of the common themes:

• Most commonly used forms of communication: Trumpets, texts

• Concern: Too many apps (teacher communication- each teacher doing something different, campus departments each have their own communication platforms)

• Would like more training for Schoology

• Parents prefer videos/ digital resources for training

• Want to ensure balance of using technology tools and non-tech activities

• Want to ensure students are good digital citizens and safe online

The committee will use this feedback to inform future goal setting for our 2025-2028 technology plan.  Thank you for your feedback!
