Shrek, Jr. Performance
Our students did an exceptional job performing the play Shrek, Jr. for our school on Friday!  I was so impressed with their ability to sing, dance and act!  We thank the Golden Ticket Theater for organizing this opportunity for students.  We hope you are able to attend one of the remaining performances this weekend.  The show times are the following:  Friday and Saturday@ 6:30 PM & Saturday @1:00PM.






PARCC Testing Schedule – Grades 5
Our third and fourth grade students worked hard on their End of Year state PARCC assessment this week.  Our fifth graders will take the final portion of this assessment next week.  Please refrain from scheduling out of school appointments during your child’s testing window.  Please also set your child up for success by making sure he/she gets a good night sleep and a healthy breakfast.

PARCC Schedule
Grade 5: 11-13 @ 11:00-12:30
