PLEASE CHECK LOST AND FOUND!
Families: We have never seen this many discarded coats, hoodies, and other belongings of students. Please come before this FRIDAY to go through these items and make sure that your student has all of their things. They will be donated if you do not collect them.
RISE Testing Begins This Week
End-of-year testing, called RISE, begins on Monday, April 27, for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, and continues through Thursday, May 7, with make-up testing held on Fridays and the week of May 11.
Here are a few things that families can do to prepare students at home:
- Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and eats a healthy breakfast.
- Make the morning of testing as relaxing as possible by arriving to school on time. Testing begins right away in the morning so students must be to school by 8:15am so they are settled in and ready to begin.
- Encourage children to focus and pace themselves without rushing. It’s important for them to take their time, and read each question carefully.
Tuesday is our next Fresh Produce Market
Our Fresh Produce Market will be available again tomorrow as well as each Tuesday through May 12. A parent/guardian can pick up a bag of fresh fruit and vegetables at no cost. It is first come, first served; we have a limited number of bags. The bags are typically ready to go by 2:00pm. We will have them inside in the entryway and then move them to tables outside so please check both locations. We are so pleased to be able to offer this opportunity for our families once again!
Family Booster Night TUESDAY
We are hosting our first Family Booster Night on Tuesday, April 28, from 5:30-7:30pm. The theme is our beautiful state of Utah! Please join us for this fun evening!
Check out your students’ projects from Art, Drama, Library and STEM. Participate in fun activities such as finding fossils, designing your own fossil, making crafts, exploring Utah, and more! Enjoy foods associated with Utah in the cafeteria. Watch the school play featuring several of our fabulous students at 6:30pm. We are going to have great time!
Thrive Time Focus of the Week
During Thrive Time lessons this week, we’ll learn how compromising can help us resolve differences and build stronger connections. We’ll also identify trusted adults in our community who can support us, practice showing empathy to others, and explore the importance of seeing things from different perspectives. Finally, we’ll focus on how to respond with respect, continuing to grow kindness and understanding in everything we do. Let’s keep building a caring and connected community together!
Families, take time to talk about these ideas with your students at home as well! We can all practice these skills every day!
