State Testing Continues This Week
It's Time to Show What We Know!
State testing continues this week. Our first set of groups will take their Math test. Students who miss their assigned testing day will be in make-up testing next week.
Every student has been provided their cohort assignment and testing schedule. Please touch base with your student to make sure they are prepared for their test sessions.
Testing is untimed. Please encourage your student to NOT rush. If they don't finish on their assigned day, they will be given additional time to finish.

Amazing Summer Camp Opportunity
Parking Lot and Traffic Safety
Traffic Flow During Pickup/Drop Off
- When picking up or dropping off students, please do NOT stop in the outer lane of the drive way. If you need to stop and wait for your student to get in or out, please pull as far up as possible and stop against the inner curb (school side).
- We must ask that all families drive safely and carefully while in the school parking lot.
Walking Student Safety
- Students should NEVER cross Jackson street except at the cross walks where they are protected by traffic signals.
- Please speak to your students if they walk to ensure they always walk to the cross walks.
If you or a friend or loved one is struggling, resources are available to help.
