Counselor's Corner - MAP Testing
MAP Testing is coming up at the end of April and beginning of May. Here are some tips to remember to set your child up for success:
- Make sure your child gets sufficient sleep the night before testing.
- Provide a healthy breakfast for your child.
- Please do your best to make sure your child is at school EVERY DAY. This would not be the best time to make doctors appointments.
- Write your child encouraging notes to boost their confidence for the test.
We are looking forward to viewing the solar eclipse on April 8th! All students will be given solar eclipse glasses to view the event safely! Please be sure to sign your child's permission slip so that they can view the eclipse! Permissions slips will be going home April 2nd. If your child does not have signed permission slip, they will be able to view a live stream of the eclipse inside.
Football Camp April 10th
No registration...come as you are for the kiddos!!! One hour mini-camp with players/coaches for fun football activities!!!
West PTA has been hard at work, raising $12,000 over the last 18 months to help the District purchase a digital sign for West Elementary. Now the group's fundraising efforts are shifting to help create an outdoor classroom. We are so thankful for our PTA groups across the District!
Curious what's happening behind West Elementary? We are going solar!!
Earlier this school year, the District hired an energy savings company and began retrofitting everything in the District to LED. And now, solar panels are being installed at West! This will save us money in the long run!
Solar panels will also be installed this summer on the roof at South Elementary.
