Campus Updates & Reminders:
We had another round of close calls in the parking lot this week with instances of pedestrians almost being hit by vehicles.Again, please proceed
through all areas of the parking lot at a slow rate of speed and be aware of crossing guards assisting
pedestrians through traffic.
CAASPP testing is continuing this week for our 3 -6 graders. Families, please remind your students of the following helpful tips to a positive
testing experience:
rd th
Make sure your child gets a full night’s sleep the night before testing
Eating a big breakfast will help power their brain. Breakfast is served daily in our school MPR from 8:10-8:30 and is free for all students.
Make sure your child has enough time in the morning to get ready. Most tests will begin first thing in the morning and students will not be
allowed to enter the classroom tardy if the test has already begun; this means they will have to do make-up testing at a later time.
Remind your child that this is just one test and one moment in time. While we want them to try their best, this test does not define them or
measure all of their successes.
