Dear Families,

I hope you had a relaxing break. A couple of reminders as we head into the third quarter. State testing will occur in April for all 3rd-6th grade students. Our English language proficiency test will also take place for all of our second language learners, It is important that our kids are at school everyday and on time to help maximize their education. Absenteeism has a major negative effect on a child's educational success. Please make sure your child is reading at home daily and doing their my path lessons. If you have any questions regarding your child's academic progress please reach out to your child's teacher.

Mr. Pappas

Please note that stickers, other than distrcit placed or teacher placed, are no longer aloud to be placed on Chrome books. Students that have stickers on thier Chrome books will be asked to remove them. Students are allow to purchase covers or cases for Chrome books if you so choose.

Ready to learn! As part of our PBIS moto, all students whould come to school ready to learn. Chrome books should be charged, homework or projects should be in your backpacks, and JM dress code should be followed. Reminder no Crocs are allowed.

Please make sure to call in your absences to Mrs. Veronica or Mrs. Joyce as soon as possible.

The effects on chronically absent students are major. Please make sure your child is attending school.
