Our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders begin M-Step testing this week. I encourage parents to write your child a note wishing them well, telling them to relax, take their take and do their best. If you want to drop it off we will deliver it to them on their first day of testing. The testing days are included in the weekly calendar below.
This week’s notes:
- Report cards will be sent home on Monday, April 7.
