There is no school Friday, April 6th and Monday, April 9th due to Easter Break.

AIMS Testing starts Monday, April 16th . Students need to be on time and at school all week. Of course, if they are sick (fever, vomiting) they should stay home. If this is the case they will have the opportunity to make up that day’s testing another day.

To help your child be successful with the week-long testing here are some tips:

  • Get a good night’s rest each night
  • Eat healthy foods in the morning to avoid a “sugar crash”
  • Research has shown that when kids chew gum while working on stressful tasks they perform better. Gum chewing will be allowed during testing times only. I will not provide any gum or allow children to share for food allergy safety. Please provide your own.
