As we near the end of the school year, I want to recognize the hard work of our students and staff - especially as we begin CAASPP and NWEA testing. CAASPP assesses how well students in grades 3–8 are mastering English, math, and science (grades 5 & 8), while NWEA measures growth in grades TK–2. These results help us track progress and guide instruction. Our proficiency levels have steadily improved, thanks to our students’ effort, our teachers’ dedication, and your support. Let’s keep the momentum going! Please encourage your student(s) to do their best, get plenty of rest, and know their effort matters. Thank you for being a vital part of our community!
Our last Saturday Learning Camp is tomorrow, May 3. Please see the schedule posted for transportation. We hope to see your student tomorrow! Students who attended 7 out of the 9 camps will be going to the BLVD on May 12!
