Two More Weeks of Testing to Go! ~ 4 weeks left of school!


Please remember that 5th grade tests resume on Monday and Tuesday this week. Any questions about remaining testing dates, please check my blog. Make sure your child has their own snacks, (please only send the snacks that are on the approved list, the list is on my blog) water bottle, headphones, and gets plenty of sleep! I know this time of year is crazy busy for everyone:) One week down of testing, two more to go! 


Our field trip to City Hall and Maverick was a success! A huge thank you to Mrs. Taylor for walking with the class and to Judge Lister, he did an amazing job of presenting his role in the court system.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Walking Field Trip April 19th!!!


On Tuesday, April 19th, we will be walking to City Hall and Judge Lister will be giving us a presentation on the court responsibilities and process. We are excited about this, but I also wanted to let you know early so if your child has to leave early we would have time to make different arrangements for them. We will be leaving school at 1:10 and return when finished, not sure of exact time.
