Pevely Elementary Weekly News
Good Morning Pevely Families,
We have a 4-day week ahead as our Spring Break starts on Friday! School will be back in session on Tuesday, April 22. We hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend and enjoy the extra time with family and friends!
This week, all 3rd-5th Grade classes will start MAP testing on Wednesday and Thursday. As a reminder, testing sessions are in the morning. If students arrive late to school, they may not be able to complete the session with their class that day as they cannot start a session after the class has already started. Please arrive on time to help us avoid make-up testing if possible. If you have any questions about MAP testing, please contact your student's teacher or the front office for assistance.
We have exciting events coming up soon. Please see the new information in this week's newsletter as the end of the school year is always busy!
Have a wonderful weekend!
#GoBlackcats
Sincerely,
Ms. Katie Dunlap
Principal
Pevely Elementary
MAP Assessment: 3rd-5th Grade
Our 3rd-5th Graders will be taking the MAP Assessment between April 15-May 2. Some students may start earlier than April 15 or test later than May 2nd for small group testing and/or make-up testing.
All testing sessions are in the morning, so please ensure your student is at school on time. Students who arrive after the test session has already started cannot start and will need to make it up at a later date. Please encourage your student to do their best on the test!
