Terra Nova Testing
Terra Nova testing begins tomorrow, please be on time. Testing will be from 3/21-3/28. Please make sure the students get good rest and a full breakfast!
Busing
Please remind children who ride the bus that there are rules, no moving around while the bus is moving, no throwing of objects, no screaming. Stay seated until the bus stops at your stop. I have had to chat with drivers from different districts b/c students are getting spring fever on the bus and had to speak to students on a bus yesterday (note: there was another school of students on the bus as well). I don't want to see any of our students getting written up for not following the rules. Thanks bunches for your help with this.
PAPA
A great big huge thank you to Mrs. Maye and Mrs. Wachowicz for stepping up to take on our Exercise for Education. It is one of the biggest events and a special one because all the students get a chance to participate. We have had to change the date from April 25th to May 28th to provide time for all the moving parts to this event.
First: We need a donation of postage stamps. 2 rolls of stamps will earn you 1 credit. Please make sure your name is on the donation to receive the credit. We need those pretty quick so thanks bunches if you are able to assist!!
