MCA Testing Continues!
Students in Grades 3-5 take the MCA Math test the week of April 21st. There are a few things you can do to set your student up for success!
Track and Field is on May 15th
(rain day is May 16th if needed)
Bring a lawn chair or a blanket! You are welcome to come watch your student show off their skills on track and field day! A port-a-potty will be on site if you need it. For security reasons, family members will NOT be able to come inside and use the restrooms. Students will have lunch in the cafeteria using an altered lunch schedule. We love our small neighborhood school, but our cafeteria is small. Due to space limitations, family members will NOT be allowed to join students for lunch on this day.
9:30 - 12:00 Grades K-2
12:30-3:00 Grades 3-5
