As we enter the month of April, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your ongoing commitment and dedication to our school community.
April marks a wonderful time of the school year, filled with new opportunities for growth, learning, and reflection. As the days grow longer and warmer, I look forward to seeing the continued enthusiasm and energy from both the staff and students. I also hope we can continue to create a positive and enriching environment that fosters curiosity and academic excellence for all the students. April brings ELA state testing for our third – fifth graders. Our 3rd grade will take the exam by paper and pen and our 4th-5th graders will take the exam online. Please be sure your child gets rest and eats a proper breakfast. Our doors open for breakfast at 7:30 am. The test is untimed, and students are permitted to work until 2:10 pm. Therefore, rest and nutrition are important towards having the proper stamina to do well.
Please refer to the chart below regarding the Spring 2025 State Testing Dates.
PBT = Paper Based Testing CBT= Computer Based Testing
