Happy Spring Everyone,

I can't believe it is already April and we have less than 30 days left of school for this school year.

One thing about Spring is that it is a great time to see student growth. At School, we see students using reading and math strategies independently. Their reading and writing abilities have grown and students are staying engaged longer in their work.  With this being the 4th and final Marking Period it is also a great time to reach out to your child's teacher to discuss your child's growth this year. Is your child ready for the next school year academically and emotionally? Please reach out and talk to your child's teacher.

This month is also very busy with Ohio State Testing (OST) Assessments. Students in grades 3, 4 and 5 will take two days of Reading and two days of Math assessments. In addition, 5th graders will take one day of Science OST. Please check with your child's teacher to know what day their test will fall. We need all of our students to do their best on these tests. The results this year will determine our building designation for the State of Ohio.

Finally, Spring Break is this month. There is no school for students on Good Friday, April 15th. The following week is Spring Break and continues through Friday, April 22nd.  Students will return to school on Monday, April 25th.  We hope everyone has a wonderful break and enjoys the book and activity journals coming home with their children.

Remember to reach out to your child's teacher or me if you have any questions or concerns. 

Always Be Kind! You never know what another person is going through.

Love Ya!

Mrs. M
