Weekly Wrap-Up #28: 04/04/2025

It is again time to begin CMAS testing. The students have worked hard all year,, studied, annotated, written papers, done creative projects in their classes and practiced good thinking skills. We need your help to encourage them during this time of testing. This is not a time to fret or fear, but a time to be excited about all that our students have learned this year.

Here's how you can help:

1. Get children to bed early for a good night's sleep.

2. Have them eat a healthy breakfast or grab one at school.

3. Encourage them. Remind them how much you believe in them! Your enthusiasm and praise for doing his/her best can help reduce your child’s test anxiety and boost confidence!

As is usual, I have included some pictures from some of our many happenings here at school. I hope you enjoy a glimpse into our school week.

As always, feel free to reach out to share ideas and/or ask questions via e-mail (kathy.sather@tsd.org), class dojo, phone (970-613-6000) or in person.
