Sierra School Scoop
May 6 - May 10, 2024
Hi families
We have 15 days of school left! It feels like this year has flown by. There is a TON happening these next three weeks, so please make sure to read through this Scoop, as well as your child's classroom newsletters for pertinent information.
This is the link to our annual parent survey. We appreciate everyone who is able to take a few minutes and fill this out. Your feedback helps us know what's going well, and where we can improve. https://forms.gle/WqppkygVbkK9dC3YA
Our 3rd-5th graders wrapped up state testing this week, and we are so proud of their hard work and perseverance during these testing weeks! Make sure to tell you child "good job"!
Have a great weekend
