The LAF LMC will close for book borrowing on May 22. Overdue emails and fine notices will be sent home next week.

*This does not include the books the students are using for their current ELA units of study.

NJSLA testing will take place May 22 & 23 (5th grade only). The testing will take place first thing in the morning. Your child cannot study for this test all they need is to be well-rested and arrive on time to school. We will begin promptly at 9:15 a.m.

Due to strict testing protocols, all devices must be turned off and in their backpacks during the test. Students can bring a snack to school during testing days. The snack should be small and healthy - no candy, please.

All 5th grade Chromebooks must stay in school in the charging stations. We have no extras to provide to students during testing week.
