MAP Testing

MAP testing begins this week. Please ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep and eats breakfast before these tests. Please make sure they bring a water bottle so they can stay hydrated while learning.

Make-Up Snow Days
We have three snow days built into our calendar this year. We will be making up one day on April 25th.

Cleaning Wipes and Tissues
Our class supply of Clorox wipes and tissues is almost out. If you can, please send in a container of wipes or box of tissues if you are able. Anything is appreciated!

Water Bottles and Snacks
Please continue to send your student to school with a water bottle and a snack each day. This helps them stay hydrated and have enough energy to keep up their learning throughout the whole school day.
