M-Step/NWEA Testing
Testing will continue next week through May. Dates are on the calendar. Please look at the dates and try to avoid scheduling appointments, etc. during those times. Students will need a working pair of headphones. I have checked with everyone, and they all have a working set. They should not bring any electronic devices (other than their computer) to school. Please keep computer mouses, electronic watches, etc. at home on testing days so that they are secure during testing times when they cannot be in the classroom.
Book Orders:
Flyers are in your child's Friday Folders (5-5). I will put the orders through Wednesday afternoon. This is the last book order of the year.
5th Grade End-of-the-Year Packet:
There was a packet in your child's Friday Folder last Friday (4-28) which outlines all of the events we have from now until the end of the school year. It also includes 4 permission slips which need to be filled out, signed, and returned ASAP, 2 health letters, and links for volunteer opportunities.
Walking Field Trip to Concordia:
The walking field trip to Concordia is on Wednesday (5-10). See the packet mentioned above and calendar for more information.
5th Grade Music Concert:
I cannot wait to hear your children perform at Concordia on Thursday (5-11)! See the calendar for more details.
