CAASPP TESTING CONTINUES THIS WEEK: Do Your Best on the TEST! 

Do your best on the TEST! is our theme as we gear up for the CAASPP tests. Testing will take place on May 21 and 22 for fifth graders in science. Please ensure that students are on time to school every day, try not to have any absences, have a good night's sleep, and eat a protein meal every morning. This will help support your children in doing their best on these important state tests. 

 

BREAKFAST DURING CAASPP TESTING 

May 6-24: Breakfast will only be served BEFORE School for all grades TK-6th for the entire three weeks of testing. Because we need to ensure that all students have an opportunity to eat prior to taking the test, breakfast will be served BEFORE school only until 8:45 for all three weeks of testing.

 

NO FRIDAY FLAG FOR THREE WEEKS

Due to CAASPP Testing, we will not hold our weekly Friday Flag Assemblies. This will return on May 31.
