Sunday Email for 5/4/25

Testing continues this week! I wanted to give a huge shoutout to our 3rd graders for their reading test last week. We had perfect attendance for our 3rd graders on testing day, and they worked really hard and showed amazing growth from Fall to Spring! Our 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th graders are ready to rock it next week! Attendance in May is important as we finish up end-of-year testing and have lots of fun events to conclude the year. Parents, please help us ensure great attendance by communicating with the school when your child will be absent, getting them to school on time, and trying to avoid early check-outs when possible. Below is the testing calendar for the remainder of the year. Attendance on these days is especially important. Please remember that a good night's sleep and a full stomach are a great way to start a testing day. SJE students have access to free breakfast each day.

Let's ROAR to the Finish Line

As we approach the end of the school year, we have several fun activities planned. To ensure all students can participate, please help us reinforce our ROAR expectations: Responsible, Optimistic, Attentive, and Respectful. Students see our ROAR expectations displayed throughout the school and earn PBIS points for demonstrating them. Let's work together to finish the year strong!
