Next week we have PE on Wednesday.

Dear Parents,

Congratulations to all our hard working 3rd graders! They have completed their first PARCC/CMAS tests. I am so proud of how hard they worked. Results will be available to you sometime early next school year, typically in late September, but regardless of their score, all the kids worked with determination and focus and that is something to be celebrated!!

Thank you all for joining us at the Kohl Inspiration Exhibition. We loved showing off our slideshows. It was great to see so many current, former and upcoming students.

This week we met our 7th grade buddies for the first time. We got to know each other and the 7th graders interviewed the 3rd graders in preparation for writing their book. We will meet with them again on Wednesday for the next phase of the assignment. Please try to have your child at school that day so they can participate in this wonderful event. Our last meeting will be May 16 at Miramonte Park, where the 7th graders will present the 3rd graders with their books.

Finally, our field trip to Morrison Natural History Museum is May 3. Thank you to our volunteer parents for helping us on this trip. (Mary Beth Burke, Cassie Egerter, Stephanie Schwab, Nancy Saha, Chamisa Logemann, Linda Gutmann, and Megan West)  Please plan on being at school by 8:45. You will need to bring a sack lunch, drink, and $7 for museum admissions. If you have not had a chance to return the permission slip and fee, please do so as soon as possible. If you are having financial difficulties and cannot afford the fee, please let me know.
