Tiger Tales

Dear Parents and Guardians,

For golf enthusiasts out there, I trust you've been savoring the excitement of the MASTERS tournament. We eagerly anticipate discovering who emerges as the winner!

Last week marked the return of our students from break and they have smoothly transitioned back into their routines.

This week, students in Grades 3-5 will be undertaking the Milestones assessment. Here are some important reminders as your child prepares for the assessment:

• Ensure they get ample rest the night before the exams.
• Encourage them to have a nutritious breakfast.
• Ensure they arrive at school promptly, no later than 7:30 am.
• Offer words of encouragement and motivation to boost their confidence.

Check out Tiger Talk from PTA to learn about upcoming events.

Monday-Enrichment Clubs begins! Bangladeshi New Year 6:00-7:30! All parents and students are invited! $2.00 at the door-food, fun, dances, henna..and lots more!

We are nearing the end of the academic year, so it's crucial that your child attends school regularly.

Proud to Serve,

Mia Bradshaw, Principal
