It is our hope that each of our families had a wonderful break! We have less than 30 days left in our school year but many fun and exciting things coming our way. Please continue to read the blog and go over the information with your child(ren). We appreciate your support!
CAASPP testing begins this week for 5th grade
Our 5th-grade students will begin their state testing this week. They will take the CAST (Science) test on Wednesday and Thursday, with make-ups on Friday. If you are the parent of a 5th-grade student, please ensure they arrive at school on time. They will not be able to enter the classroom once testing has begun. In addition, please be sure your child eats a healthy breakfast before coming to school. School breakfast is served daily, starting at 8:15 am, and is available for any student, FREE OF CHARGE. Thank you for your continued support.

PBIS Focus: Be Kind
Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Being kind to others means asking if someone is okay, sharing supplies or items a friend might need, and/or considering someone else’s feelings when making a decision or before taking action. Kindness comes in many forms in our school. We always encourage our Bulldogs to show kindness to their friends, classmates, teachers and other school staff. We also talk about using kind words with ourselves and building ourselves up with positive self-talk. Being kind means using our words to express ourselves. This ties in nicely with our IB attribute of Communicators. In order to be kind, we must use our actions and words to communicate our thoughts and feelings. These help us follow up with kind actions.
