SBAC (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium) State testing for our 3rd through 5th grade students starts this week. I know we noted this in our last newsletter, but wanted to once again stress the importance of setting our students up for success. Please help your student with their success by:

  • Ensuring they get a good nights sleep
  • Having them eat a healthy breakfast
  • Giving them some words of encouragement to help ease possible test anxiety
  • Make sure they are in attendance throughout the entire testing window.

Can you believe we only have 7 weeks of school left in the 2014- 2015 school year? I am so proud of the hard work that our students and staff have put in this year and am looking forward to the great things still to come. Please stay tuned for notices and letters coming home announcing all of our wonderful and exciting end of the year activities. We will definitely be looking forward to your participating and volunteering to make these events a success for our students.
