Today is day 4 on the specials calendar
Today make up testing begins for EOG testing. Please review testing schedule.
Important staff meeting on Monday right after school. Please plan to attend.
At this time of year it is important all staff be on posted duties on time. Students need more supervision, not less. Some staff who are on afternoon and morning duties have not been showing up-make sure you are on post and that you actively supervise students.

Today is day 0 on the specials calendar
Today is the third day of EOG testing. Third, fourth and fifth graders will test in Math. No specials. Please do not have excessive movement or outside PE near testing areas. Please review testing plan to see which special services will be be cancelled today. (Title 1, EC services).
Please plan on attending an important staff meeting next Monday. I plan to "cast the vision" for next year and share operating protocols for next school year. Things will be very different. Make sure you attend. Each day brings new information and possible change in how we will operate next year. Despite the looming challenges, I am confident we will continue to meet each and every child's needs.
