Bears,
The first week of April is in the can, and next week kicks off the NJSLA (formerly PARCC) testing. While the test isn't the only indicator of a student's progress and abilities (not to mentioned the school's effectiveness in educating our learners), it is an important one we take seriously. Parents/guardians - please remind your child (children) to get plenty of sleep prior to the test, to eat breakfast, and to be on time and present on testing days. We are sure they'll do great!
Announcements
As mentioned, NJSLA testing begins on Monday, April 8th. Monday and Tuesday are ELA days, and Wednesday is the make-up day. Math testing will be on the following Monday and Tuesday (4/15 - 4/16). Looking ahead, the science test will be on 5/9 and 5/10.
We want to thank everyone who brought in items for the Warming Hearts program. Our generous Bears collected nearly 20 boxes of items (see pic below). Way to go!
Staff - we have a meeting on 4/11.
On Friday, we have our time-honored tradition of the student vs. staff floor hockey game. We'll begin calling the students to the gym around 2 pm.
