Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week begins PM 3 end-of-year FAST testing for all students in grades 3, 4, and 5, we want to thank you for your continued support throughout the school year. These assessments are an important opportunity for students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have worked hard to develop all year long, and we are excited for them to showcase their learning.
To help students perform their very best, we ask for your support in ensuring that students:
Get a good night’s rest each evening
Eat a healthy breakfast each morning
Arrive at school on time each day for the remainder of the school year
Consistent attendance and healthy routines play an important role in helping students feel confident and prepared during testing.
We are proud of the hard work and growth our students have shown this year and appreciate your partnership in supporting their success.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your child's teacher.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Rolle
Principal
