Hello parents and guardians! I know it has been awhile since Ms. Duke and myself have written to you, but it has been a crazy couple of weeks. As many of you know, the next three weeks the students will be taking the PSSAs. Here is the schedule for our testing:
English Language Arts PSSA: April 12th-15th
Math PSSA: April 19th-21st
Science PSSA: April 26th-27th
During the weeks of testing, please make sure that your child is getting an adequate amount of sleep and eating a good breakfast every morning, whether that is at school or at home. This year, we will not be providing snacks for the students in the morning, but they will still be given one mint and one piece of gum to have while they are taking the test. Also, please remind your child to stay calm while taking the test. This year, we have not been making the test a big deal to ensure we are not stressing the students out. Encourage them to try and do their best.
If for any reason your child becomes ill and has to miss school, there will be days that they can take any part of the PSSAs that they have missed.
Report cards will also be distributed this Thursday. Please make sure that you sign the report card envelope and send it back to us immediately.
UPCOMING DATES:
Earth Day: April 22nd
Arbor Day: April 29th
Track and Field Day: May 2nd
No School: May 20th
Scotties Trees Rock Celebration: June 1st
Last Day of School: June 3rd
Thank you for all your help and understanding! If you have any other questions, please reach out to Ms. Duke or I at anytime.
Miss Harlacker and Ms. Duke
