These state assessments are an important part of measuring student progress and growth. They help us understand how well students are mastering grade-level content and where we can better support them.

✔️ How You Can Help Your Child Succeed

• Get a good night’s sleep before each test day

• Arrive on time to school each morning

• Eat a healthy breakfast

• Bring a fully charged Chromebook (if applicable) and any required materials

We are proud of the effort our students have put in all year and look forward to seeing their growth reflected in this final stretch of the school year. Thank you for your continued support in helping your child do their very best!

We’re excited to celebrate Earth Day together as a school community! On Tuesday, April 22nd, we have a fun and meaningful day planned:

• 🌱 Wear Your Level Up T-Shirt – All students and staff are encouraged to wear their Honor Credit Union – Level Up shirts to show unity and school spirit.
• 🧹 Campus Clean-Up – After morning testing, we’ll head outside to help clean up our school grounds alongside our amazing partners from Honor Credit Union.
• 🎉 Surprises & Treats – Students can look forward to some special Earth Day surprises and treats as a thank-you for their hard work and participation.

It’s going to be a great day of giving back, working together, and showing pride in our school and planet!

In celebration of Earth Day on Tuesday, April 22nd, our food service partner, Chartwells, is providing a special eco-friendly gift for all students!

🌼 Each student will receive a coaster embedded with wildflower seeds during lunch. These coasters are not only a fun takeaway but also a great way to give back to the planet!

📄 Planting instructions are included right on the card, so students can take them home and grow their own little patch of wildflowers.

A big thank you to Chartwells for helping us celebrate Earth Day in such a meaningful and sustainable way! 🌍💚

As we head into M-STEP testing, we’re encouraging students to dress with purpose and positivity to help set the tone for success!

• 👕 Tuesday, April 22nd – All students should wear their Honor Credit Union – Level Up T-Shirts as a way to get in the mindset of “Leveling Up” on their M-STEP! Let’s show unity, pride, and determination as we tackle the first day of testing.
• 👟 Thursday, April 24th – It’s time to "Dress for the Test!"

How do YOU dress your best for testing day?

• Do you focus best when you’re comfortable and cozy?

• Or do you feel confident and ready to Level Up by dressing up?

Whatever your style, the goal is to feel great and be ready to do your best!

Let’s finish strong and support each other through these important testing days! 💪
