Remember our Parent Appreciation night, Be Our Guest One last time (BOGO) is coming up Thursday 5:30-7:00. We will have a hotdog dinner, show off our students' artwork, and the book fair will be going on. Be sure to take our survey when you get here to give us your feedback on our school. It is midterm time! If you haven't checked Schoology for a while, please do so. Check for missing work. If you don't have a Schoology account, third, fourth and fifth graders can show you their grades themselves. I would encourage everyone to set that up so you can check frequently for grades or missing assignments your child may have. We continue our end of year testing for third, fourth and fifth graders tomorrow and Thursday (fifth only). Be at school before 7:45 please.

Third and fourth graders will be taking the WV Writing Assessment Wednesday and fifth graders will be taking the test on Thursday. Please make sure your student is on time, well rested, and eats breakfast at home or school. This test must be completed in one day so children need to be on time and cannot be checked out during the test. It will be combined with the assessment in May for a total English Language Arts score. We expect great work from them.
