April 14, 2017
Spring Break is upon us!  It's so hard to believe we are already here!

A great deal has been going on in the last few weeks and there are a host of fun events coming up!
Thank you to all students and families who attended 3-way conferences.  It's always so nice to hear from students and families about how the year is progressing.  If you still haven't had a chance to schedule a conference with your child and his/her advisor, please contact us, we would love to see everyone.

Report cards also went home at conferences.  Please make sure that you have reviewed your child's report card, then sign and return the report card envelope.  Always feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns regarding report cards.

Students completed SBAC testing this week with the math portion.  There are a few students who may need to complete make-ups or finish up when they return from break but the majority of students have finished.  Everyone in 5th and 6th grade worked hard and gave the test their best effort!  Congrats to all students for doing a fantastic job.

There are several dates coming up between now and the end of the year that will be important.  It is always a busy time of year, so mark your calendars!

17th - 21st - Spring Break
