Good morning!

We are really proud of how hard our students are working this week! The Best and The Brightest are in the process of showing the world their greatness as they are taking the State Tests in Grades 3-5.  The Best and Brightest students in Kindergarten-Second Grade are also working hard as they have been involved in research, writing books, learning about science at The Brown Environmental Center, and many more learning activities.

Please read your weekly updates below:

Upcoming State Tests for Grades 3-5:

Attendance During State Testing:

It is very important on everyday that our students are on time and  present to school.  Please that if your child shows up to school late on a testing day, he/she will not be allowed in the testing area and will be scheduled to take the State Test at a later time on that date or on a different day.  The student will be in the office doing school work until all other students have completed their testing (approximately 90 minutes in length).
