Book Fair Coming!

Our Book Fair will be held May 9-May 13th.  This coincides with our Spring Open House May 10th and the "Grand" Breakfast on May 13th.  Our students will be going to preview the books earlier in the day on May 10th so they will have a wish list for parents. Please go to the following link to find more information about the Book Fair.

The Book Fair Committee is also holding a grade level contest during that week to raise additional funds to provide books for the library and the birthday book program.  This year is a "loose change" contest.

The last call for purchasing books will be Wednesday, May 11 from 9:00 -9:30AM.

Testing Week

This week we have started our second round of testing.  The 5th grade is getting the first opportunity to test on the computer.  We just finished Session 1 Mathematics and it went very well.  We had no technology glitches and it seemed like a good format.  We will continue with testing through Thursday of this week.  Thank you to parents for sending in snacks for this week.

Thank You Parents!

I would just like to thank all of the parents who shared their time over the last two weeks to help with math rotations.  It has made a very significant improvement in the students' time on task.  If you are interested in being added to our calendar please just send an email.  Have a great weekend!
