Only 9 days left! Our testing season is almost over. All that remains is the 5th Grade Science Test on Tuesday. So far, our Kindergarten through 4th graders have done amazingly well. Our students continue to impress us each year with their incredible growth. To our 5th-grade parents, please help us emphasize the importance of this one final testing day on Tuesday and encourage your children to do their very best on the Science test. Please also remind our 5th graders to get a great night's sleep, and remember they have access to a free breakfast in the morning! Keep up the great work, 5th grade!

May Testing Date:

  • May 20th- 5th Science

Attendance and Behavior: Let's Finish Strong!

Let's finish the year strong and aim for the best elementary attendance rate! We're currently right in the mix with a daily attendance rate around 93%, and every day counts. As we get closer to exciting end-of-year activities like field trips, field day, and classroom celebrations, it might be tempting to think a day missed here or there isn't a big deal. However, strong attendance ensures our students don't miss out on these special events and valuable learning time right up to the very last day.

Please remember to contact the school to report any absences. If we don't receive information, the absence will be marked as unexcused.

As we head into these final weeks, we're also continuing to focus on our ROAR PBIS expectations: Responsible, Optimistic, Attentive, and Respectful. We want all our students to enjoy the end-of-year fun, and maintaining these positive behaviors will help ensure everyone can participate fully and that our classroom expectations are met. Let's have a fantastic and strong finish to the school year together!

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.

We've had a few instances where families are attempting to change dismissal procedures in the car line. To ensure a smooth and safe dismissal for all students, please make any necessary dismissal changes with ample notice. In certain circumstances, if a dismissal change isn't communicated early enough, we may ask you to park and wait. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we finish out the year.

Thank you!
