Students still working on state testing
Dear CW Needham Elementary School Families,
As we continue with California State assessment testing, we want to remind you how important it is for students to come to school each day well-rested and ready to do their best. A good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast go a long way in helping students stay focused and confident.
Please remember that we offer free breakfast for all students every morning starting at 7:30 a.m.
Thank you for partnering with us to help every child shine during CAASPP and beyond!
If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Wishing all our Needham Knights peace and blessings,
Sonja Renhult, Principal of Clyde W. Needham Elementary School
April 14 - May 2, 2025 CAASPP State Assessment
Please see key ways to help your child do their best on the test above in the Principal's Message.
