If you have any questions about testing or the schedule, please contact your child's teacher.
Have a great weekend!

Child Abuse Prevention Month Dear Families,
Your child's safety is important in and out of school. That's why I'm sharing this resource from Committee for Children, the organization that makes the Second Step social-emotional learning program.
Research shows that talking to your kids about sexual abuse, touching, and private body parts can help keep them safe. This is a scary subject, but talking about it shouldn't be. HotChocolateTalk.org is a free, research-based resource that provides the facts, tips, and talking points that can help you start this critical safety conversation.
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Learn how you can help prevent abuse at HotChocolateTalk.org.
Yearbooks We have extra yearbooks in the office for sale. Yearbooks are $17. Yearbooks are limited so act fast. Please bring the money to the office.
From The Nurse End of Year Medication Pick Up As the school year is coming to an end, please remember that you will need to come pick up any medications stored for your child at school including inhalers, epi-pens, and over the counter medications. These medications should be picked up on the last day of school or prior to the last day of school. Any medications not picked up by the last day of school will be dropped off at the Police Station for proper disposal.
Immunizations 5th Grade Parents As soon as your child turns 11 they are eligible to receive their immunizations that are required for 6th grade. All 6th graders over the age of 11 are required to have a Meningococcal and Tdap vaccine BEFORE the start of the school year.
