Chief Example for Others (CEO) Character Trait for April: Resilience
Welcome Back!
Welcome back from Spring Recess! We hope that everyone is feeling refreshed and ready to continue learning and growing here at school!
End-of-year testing, called RISE, begins next week for 5th graders and will continue through May 16 (and the next week for make-ups). 4th graders and 3rd graders will begin testing in a few weeks. 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.
Free Groceries
Tuesday, April 15, students and families can pick up free groceries, sponsored by the Utah Food Bank and AARP. Distribution begins at 3:05pm for families.
Family Matters Friday: Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast
On Friday, April 25, we will be having our Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast at 7:30 am. This breakfast is for all of the amazing adults (and their students) who have taken their time to volunteer here at Midvale Elementary School over this past school year. Please RSVP to Heidi Sanger so we know for how many to prepare!
When the bell rings at 8:15 am, parents are welcome to go to class with their students for Morning Meeting. Please refrain from bringing smaller children to classrooms.
