It's hard to believe that we have just completed our 2nd week of testing and only have 15 days left of school! Thank you for your help with attendance on testing days. With a few exceptions, we have had great attendance. Additionally, our students have worked extremely hard. We will not receive official results until after the summer, but we can't wait to see how they performed.
Students are earning LiveSchool Points for their attendance, effort and behavior. We are planning an awesome Incentive Day to celebrate their hard work on the Milestones! On May 10th, students who have earned enough points will have the opportunity to participate in this event. We will have rotations outside, featuring outdoor games, a block party with music, water slide and obstacle course, indoor games and more. If your student will participate, please send sunscreen, a towel, and change of clothes (they may get wet).
Our Honors Day is being planned for Wednesday, May 22nd. Our 8th grade program will be at 10am in our gym. Our 6th and 7th grade program will begin at 1pm. We will send home an invitation if your student is receiving an award or being recognized. If you attend and choose to check out your student, please bring your ID and arrive a few minutes early and we can take care of that request using our rapid checkout system.
Finally, the last day of school is Friday, May 24th. This will be a 2 hour early release day. Pickup will begin at 1pm and students riding the bus will be home approximately 2 hours earlier than normal.
Thank you for your support!
Go Patriots!
