Letter from the Elementary Principal Dear Parents, It’s hard to believe we are already this close to the end of the year. April will be full of field trips, testing, and sporing festivities. This will be a busy month.

Reminder to 3rd-5th grade parents, testing is a very important time in our school, so please make sure to have your child at school every day this month. Teachers will be reviewing and preparing for the tests that will begin on April 15th. It is very important that students represent on testing days. Students need to be in a comfortable setting for their tests with the class to be successful. It needs to be a normal day in a normal setting. Students should have lots of rest, eat a good breakfast, and arrive at school in a calm, not rushed, state. Just encourage your child to do their best each day.

Wishing everyone a beautiful sporing with lots of amazing memories!

Mrs. Mayhue

Read-a-Thon

The Read-a-Thon, April 7th to 21st, is the main fundraiser for the elementary. This money is used to fund special events, materials and activities for students each year. The first step is to register your child. Then your child just reads, logs their time, and asks their loved ones to donate toward their efforts. All donations are online through your child’s page. This was a great success last year and we are looking forward to making it even better this year.
