Reminder!
3rd and 4th graders will be taking MCAP reading on April 23rd-26th and MCAP math on May 6th-10th. It is critical that students are in school and ready to learn on those days. Do your best to ensure that your student gets a good night of sleep and is at school on time. Avoid scheduling any appointments or vacations during those days.
Our students have been working hard and we can't wait to see them shine! 🌟
Happy 100th Day of School! Attendance at school every day, that your child is well, is so important for their academic achievement. If your child has missed 10 days to date, they are at-risk of being chronically absent. Additionally, being at school on-time helps students start their day in a very positive way. If you need support with student attendance, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Aperance or Dr. Welch.
