If you did not receive an information packet home with your student, please contact the school office for a copy.
Thank you again for your support!
IOWA Testing Begins Monday (April 27)
IOWA testing for students in grades 3-7 begins this Monday, April 27th and runs through May 7th. Please ensure that your child arrives at school on time as many classes begin testing right after announcements. Please make sure children are only absent in the case of illness as it is difficult to make up the tests at a later date. Also, the teachers ask that you confirm with your child that they have several #2 pencils in their pencil case at school as they will need them for testing. Please send in more if necessary.
