MAXIMIZING LEARNING TIME

As we work together to finish the school year strong, we are asking for your support in encouraging students to make the most of their passing time between classes. This includes using the restroom, filling water bottles, and taking care of other personal needs before class begins.

We’ve noticed a large increase in students requesting to leave during instructional time, which can be disruptive and take away from valuable learning. Please take a moment to speak with your child about the importance of staying in class and using passing time wisely.

Thank you for partnering with us to support a focused and successful end to the school year!

IMPORTANT TESTING REMINDER

All students must bring their district-issued device to school fully charged on testing days.

We have extremely limited devices available, and no extras — all three grades are testing at the same time.

If a student forgets their device, they may need to test during the make-up period, which could mean missing regular class time. Please double-check that your device is fully charged the night before, and bring it with you each day of testing. Thank you for your cooperation!
