Safford PreK-8 Community School
Family Newsletter March
Hello Huskies,
This is when we get geared up for standardized testing. Please remember, your children have been working so hard and will need a good nights sleep to make their testing days successful. We also need to have everyone show up to test on the days we have assigned. We will be doing AzSci for 5th and 8th grade the 3rd week in March. We will be doing all math, writing, ela testing the week of March31st.
We have set up a reward system for students who show up on time, chromebook charged and focus quietly during testing. We are excited to see all the growth.
Please make sure to get your 25-26 school year registration in - we are growing and will need to staff appropriately. If you do not get enrolled right away, it will be difficult to staff appropriately. So, please get the enrollment in asap.
Also - some exciting news, we will be getting a Safford Marquee!!!!! Stay tunes.
