Middle School Weekend Update

April marks the beginning of Spring Testing season. Students will be taking their Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment Tests throughout the month. Please encourage your student to get plenty of sleep before test day and eat a good breakfast the morning of the test.

Please have your child bring their fully charged iPad, charger and wired earphones (not air pods/bluetooth). In addition, students will not be permitted to use or have access to their phone or other smart device (ie. watches) during their testing class period.

MCA's will occur in Math and Science classes during the following weeks:

• Week of May 6 - Science Test (8th grade only)

At PLSAS, we have a love for educating that extends beyond the classroom. Take school finance for example - it’s a very complicated topic. That’s why we’ve taken the time to break down those complex money matters into bite-sized, easy-to-digest pieces.

Introducing our newly launched School Finance 101 web page - a resource designed to provide clarity and understanding in just a few short minutes.

Big decisions will be made in the coming months that will affect students, staff and our district and it is important for each person to know and understand the issues and challenges our district is facing. Explore our School Finance 101 pages today at www.plsas.org/schoolfinance101 to stay informed and engaged in shaping the future of our educational community.
