PACT Testing Starts MAY 13th
To print a schedule for PACT TESTING, click here, or check the list above on our Calendar of Upcoming Events. It is very important that students are at school ON TIME. If a student is tardy, he or she will not be allowed into the testing room and will have to make up the test at a later date. Also, students should have two No. 2 pencils with them each day. As always during testing time, it is imperative that your child has enough rest. Please help your child by making sure he or she goes to bed early, gets a good breakfast, is relaxed, and is at school on time or even early!

t"Hats On" for Relay for Life!
Beginning in January, students can bring $0.50 to school each Friday to pay for the privilege to wear a hat all day!! All proceeds go to the Relay for Life campaign. Students should go to the gym to pay for their Relay for Life sticker which allows students to wear a hat. If no one is in the gym, then the student should go to Nurse Clarke's room to pay and receive a Relay for Life sticker. This fundraiser will continue for the next several months
