Attention Hornet Families: ATLAS End of Year Testing for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade starts this week on Tuesday, April 15th and Thursday, April 17th. It continues on Monday, April 21st and then the 23rd. Please get a good night's sleep and allow time for a healthy breakfast. Be on time to school. Students who arrive late will have to wait in the office until testing is complete. No checkouts once testing starts, as tests must be finished the day they are started. We will conduct makeup testing on "off " days. We won't see scores until the summer, but have met with students about their score goal. We've been working all year to build excellence and now is the time to show it!
Tax day is this week! Use this weekend to finish up your taxes and make sure they are postmarked by Tuesday, April 15.
