Parents and Guardians, As you know students in grades 3-5 are currently taking their last iReady assessment this week. As we approach the end of the school year, our students will be participating in important state and school assessments. These tests give us valuable information about student growth and help guide instruction moving forward. We want every student to feel confident, prepared, and supported during this time. You can play a key role in helping your child succeed by reinforcing a few simple habits at home: 1. Get Plenty of Sleep A good night’s rest is essential. Aim for an early bedtime so your child is well-rested and ready to focus each day. 2. Eat a Healthy Breakfast Starting the day with a nutritious breakfast helps improve concentration and energy levels during testing. 3. Arrive on Time Please make sure your child arrives at school on time each day of testing. Being late can cause unnecessary stress and may interrupt the testing process. 4. Dress Comfortably Encourage your child to wear comfortable clothing so they can stay relaxed and focused throughout the testing session. 5. Encourage Effort and a Positive Attitude Remind your child to take their time, read directions carefully, and do their best on every question. A positive mindset can make a big difference. 6. Reduce Stress at Home Keep mornings calm and encouraging. Reassure your child that these assessments are just one way to show what they’ve learned. We are proud of the hard work our students have put in all year and are confident they will do their very best. Thank you for your continued support in helping your child prepare for success. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school.

What an incredible hands-on learning experience in our Second Grade classrooms! Our students had the special opportunity to work side-by-side with Mrs. Flannery’s High School Vocational Nursing students from CCCTC as they wrapped up their Human Body Systems unit. The older students did an amazing job teaching, guiding, and demonstrating concepts in a way our younger learners could see, touch, and truly understand. From exploring how the body works to asking thoughtful questions and making real-world connections, our Second Graders were fully engaged and excited throughout the experience. It was a wonderful example of leadership, collaboration, and learning across grade levels. A huge thank you to Mrs. Flannery and the CCCTC Vocational Nursing program for sharing their time, knowledge, and passion with our students. Partnerships like this make learning meaningful and memorable! We love seeing our students learn from one another and grow together! 💙📚
