Monday, September 14th, and Tuesday, September 15th, students in grades 3-10 will be taking a practice math and reading benchmark test. These tests are to gauge their knowledge on their current year material and understanding.
Please encourage your child to do their best on these tests and not get overwhelmed. While we do not expect anyone to understand all the material presented in the tests, we do expect students to work hard.
With the knowledge gained from these tests we will be able to better direct their learning in the classroom.
Due to changes in the FDA regulations, beginning Monday, September 14, 2020, all meals will be free for all students. This will continue until December 31, 2020 or bearing changes to FDA regulations.
