Week of 4/10 - PARCC Testing continues
4/14 & 4/17 - No School
Students will continue taking the PARCC tests the week 4/10. Please make sure that your child's chrome book is fully charged and that he/she has earbuds at school those weeks. Your child will be able to do his/her best when he/she is well rested and has had a healthy breakfast before coming to school. There will be no time for a snack before the tests, as we are taking them first thing in the morning. And just a reminder that our classroom motto is..."Don't stress - just do your BEST!"
