Announcements
ERB TESTING: Monday, May 1st- Thursday, May 4th. Please make sure students have a
good nights sleep, and a healthy breakfast each morning during the testing week. In addition,
please be sure that students arrive to school by 8:10 to ensure that they are on time for
testing. The doors will be closed at 8:25, and any students who arrive after that time will have
to wait in the office until that testing section is finished.

Jump Rope for Heart: Friday, May 5th. This is an all day event.

April Reading Log: due Tuesday, May 2nd.

April/May Book Report- Catapult Challenge: due Tuesday, May 23rd. Students will need
to bring in their 3 paragraph essays and catapults on this day.

If you would like to donate any items to our treasure box, please send them in with your child!
We would love if any parents would be interested in donating a basketball, soccer ball, and a
football to purchase as some of the larger treasure box options (These will be worth a lot of
behavior money and require months and months of saving)!

Reminders
Please check your childs daily spiral and agenda daily. The agenda contains important
information regarding assessments, assignments and projects. It also contains assignments
from the day that may need to be completed as homework.

Please try to remind your student to bring two snacks each day. We are letting them know it is
their responsibility to make sure they pack them.

If your child brings home work in the Not Finished Yet section of the daily spiral, that work
needs to be finished as homework. This work should be turned in the next day.

Chapel is every Tuesday morning. Please have your child wear the chapel uniform and proper
accessories (ties and cross-ties).
