End of Grade Tests
Scores are back from round one of end of grade tests. Students who receive a level 2 are automatically required to take a re-test. Level 1 students are not required to re-test but are able to take a re-test with parent permission. The highest score achieved is the official score on the end of grade tests.

All of our students did a great job during the testing window. Our younger students moved about the building quietly to minimize testing distractions. I am so proud of all of our students for their STAR behavior during testing.
Class Activities
Last week I had the opportunity to experience Camp Kanata with our fifth grade students. I was amazed at the organization of the activities and resiliency of the students. The Camp Kanata trip is an excellent experience for all of our students.
