Please note that we are getting ready for our end of the year tests.  This is an important time to be sure that your child is at school each day and is on time.  Most of the tests will be first thing in the morning; 8:45 to be exact. We will be taking the tests in the computer lab and this is the only time we have assigned to our students.  The students will benefit from a good night’s rest and breakfast in the morning.

I will be at the NCTM meetings in Philadelphia next week, Wednesday through Saturday.  Mrs. Bishop will be substituting for the three days.  As always, it is “business as usual”.
