Testing is almost done, with just a few weeks left. As results come in, our K-5 students are rocking it! They are showing excellent growth, and we can tell they have been taking their time and working very hard. This week, we have 3rd-5th Grade Math Testing. Our attendance for testing days has been amazing! Thank you, parents, for making sure your child is at school on testing days! It makes a huge difference and ensures that your child is not missing any other end-of-year activities due to make-up testing. 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.

May Testing Dates:
  • May 13th- 3rd FAST Math
  • May 14th- 4th and 5th Math FAST
  • May 20th- 5th Science

Attendance: Month of May

We have an attendance update! During our testing window, several grades achieved perfect attendance, which is amazing. As a school, our attendance rate for the year is currently 93%. As we approach end-of-year activities, it can become easy to think, "It's not a big deal if they miss today." However, please help us finish the year strong with attendance. We have many activities that students will not want to miss, including field trips, field day, and other classroom-level events. Please remember to contact the school regarding any absences. If we receive no information, the absence will be considered unexcused.

Dismissal Reminder:

Parents, we ask that any transportation changes during the day be communicated to the front office and teachers in a timely manner. Transportation changes should be communicated prior to 1:00 PM. After that time, classroom teachers may not see any communication from parents until after dismissal. This will ensure dismissal runs smoothly and we avoid any delays in getting students to the correct locations. Thank you!
