The end of the school year presents unique opportunities and challenges. We've been through a lot this year and perseverance is something we've needed in spades. By persevering we reach our goals and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing your student achieve their goals –big and small! Whether it is celebrating those first steps or graduation day, witnessing achievements gained by hard work are some of a families’ proudest moments. Hard work and determination are the ingredients of perseverance. By helping your children develop perseverance now, you can prepare them to learn from their future failures and work hard to achieve future successes. Please read this month's Capturing Kids' Hearts newsletter for more on perseverance and developing a growth mindset.
We will be completing the WYTOPP, our statewide assessment, this year. All students will be tested in reading and math. Seventh grade students also take a writing test and eighth grade students are tested in science. To accommodate testing we will have block days the weeks of April 12th , April 19th, and April 26th. This means students will attend their odd period classes on Tuesdays and their even period classes on Wednesdays those weeks and classes will be 85 minutes long. Students will still start their day in S4S and dismissal times will not change.
Let's make it a great week. The weather is warming up and track starts this week so it's probably time for a huge blizzard. Maybe we got that out of the way during spring break or maybe I just jinxed us. Time will tell!
Upcoming Events
April 5 Track practice begins
April 13-29 WYTOPP testing
