A Note from Your Principals
Eli Terry Grade 3, 4, and 5 students have officially finished their SBAC and NGSS testing! Over the course of the past 3 weeks, students have shown their personal best by taking their time, using their toolbox of strategies, and carefully reviewing their work. Our teachers and testing proctors were SO impressed and are excited to see the results. We know students hard work will pay off and we are confident that they'll reflect the amazing dedication of our students, teachers, and families!
Score reports for your child(ren) will be shared in late summer/early fall. Be on the lookout for a "heads up" communication prior to them being shared.

Look at the incredible impact that our collaboration is having on our students' access to the rigorous Tier 1 instruction we offer each and every day.
Thank you for ensuring an efficient morning routine, your commitment to making appointments that have a minimal impact on the school day, and trying to schedule trips during our breaks and summer vacation.
YOU MATTER! ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
Congratulations to our 4th & 5th grade band and orchestra students. These musicians put on a wonderful concert for their family and friends on Wednesday night. Mr. Kenyon and Mrs. Hammer loved being "rick rolled" and having Dr. Pink Thing be a guest conductor!
Shout outs are a great way to express gratitude towards those who have made a positive impact in our lives. Whether it's a staff member, friend, student, or colleague, taking a moment to acknowledge and appreciate their contributions can strengthen relationships and bring our ET community closer together.
So, if you're feeling thankful for someone in your or your child's life, don't hesitate to give them a shout out! Go ahead, spread some love and appreciation to those who matter most to you.

A Peek Inside Our Week
Ms. Margnelli's Grade 1 class and Ms. Facchini's Grade 4 class were treated to an IN-CLASS "puppy love" visit on Monday! These classes fundraised the most money in K-2 and 3-5 for last week's PTO Fun Run!
The entire 5th grade class enjoyed their special "sidewalk chalk" theme day, spending a beautiful afternoon creating masterpieces on the playground!
4th graders Gabby and Liliana show off their impressive division skills!
Marshmallow the axolotl has a new home!
After a request by students (and teachers!) to have him in a more visible spot, Mrs. Aceto offered him a rental agreement in the library and he couldn't be happier!
Now he's surrounded by kids, enjoying some of his favorite stories, and learning how to read!
