Dear Parents and Students,

Fifth grade students will take Sage tests this week beginning on April 23rd through May 4th. Math Sage Tests will be given on April 23rd and 25th and students will take Science Sage Tests April 30 and May 2nd.

Please have those dates on the calendar to minimize being tardy, or/and absent on those dates. Students are strongly encouraged to bring their own headphones for testing dates. Thank you for encouraging your child to do his/her best, to finish our last quarter strong!

Please make sure that your child:

1.  Goes to bed early and is well rested
2.  Eats a good breakfast.
3.  Packs a healthy snack/and water.
4.  Has a positive, “I can-do-anything” attitude!
5.  Comes prepared to do his/her best!
6.  Arrives to school on time.

VOLUNTEER FIELD TRIP CHAPERONS 

• Thank you for those who are willing and are able to chaperon for our upcoming field trip on May 14.
• Please check with Mrs. Resin for a background check at least one week prior to the field trip (May 7).  
• We need ONE more volunteers for our homeroom. If you are interested in being a chaperon, please contact me via email. Each parent needs to have a back ground check done in our front office and it can take up to 3 days before the results are in.
