Updates from Mrs. Hollingsworth!
We had a great week back after Spring Break! We are gearing up for the Total Solar Eclipse on Monday, April 8th. As a reminder, Students will NOT be in session on this day as this is a Professional Development Day for our staff. We hope you received your pair of viewing glasses for the event.
Third grade students who took the IREAD3 test, will receive their results today. They are in a sealed envelope. A message was sent out earlier this week to all of our 4th grade families regarding 5th grade. Please reach out to South or DCMS if you have any questions! ILEARN testing starts on Tuesday, April 16th for all of our 3rd and 4th grade students. Please make sure you are charging Chromebooks and that your child has working headphones.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Hollingsworth
Principal
ILEARN starts April 16th!
Please make sure you are charging your child's Chromebook nightly and ensure they have working headphones.

Absences & Tardies
If your child is going to be absent or tardy (arriving late to school), please email southoffice@danville.k12.in.us. If your child is tardy or absent due to an appointment, please make sure that you send in a doctor's note for it to be considered excused. Tardies are noted in our system for both late arrival and early pick-up.
