A Letter from Mrs. Wasylkiw, Principal
Week April 28th - May 3rd
Hello Sumner Families,
Congratulations to Mr. Rivera, our Latinos in Action Teacher Sponsor, who was recognized as LIA Teacher of the Year!
This week we have many AICE assessments, and we begin state testing with Seniors who need their EOC for graduation. On Tuesday, April 29th we will have a special bell schedule and are reporting to homeroom first for our AICE English General Paper 2. Students taking the assessment will have a pass to their testing location. All other students will be participating in EOC and PM3 preparation activities for the required state assessments. We will be on a regular instruction day following testing.
Parents, please refrain from signing students out early from school, we need them in class.
Remember to be on time for school. The first bell rings at 8:30 AM to report to class and our day begins at 8:40 AM. We need our Stingrays on campus no later than 8:30 AM.
Thank you for your continued support,
Christine Wasylkiw
Principal
