Please treat your TestWiseness sessions with integrity.  As SBA approaches, it is important for all to be focused and dedicated to doing your best on this important statewide assessment.

As you stop by the office this week, be sure to say “Thank you” to our office staff for all of the help they provide to you!  Whether it is taking your lunch deposits, writing tardy slips, collecting your lost and found items, delivering messages, scanning your lunch tags, creating new IDs and all of the other supports they provide for you-they do it to help YOU and our whole school!

CANNED FOOD DRIVE EXTENDED!  Bring in your canned goods until Wednesday!

This week you will be having an important assembly to help you learn the signs of a stroke.  This information can help save lives-so be attentive and be sure to take home the information to share with your families!

Please remember to leave your toys at home-even your new fidget spinners-Thank you!

Have a great week!
