Time-On-Task
4th Quarter Grades
We are already three weeks into the 4th quarter, which means it's almost time to post current achievment grades for the standards in your class. Grades should be posted no later than the end of next week (4/28). We'll send the "grades posted" notice to parents next Friday. Please be proactive in communicating with parents of students who may not be performing up to their potential, with plans in place to hold the kids accountable.

Carelli Cup Home Stretch
We are nearing the home stretch in the race for the Carelli Cup. One of the last events will take place on Thursday, 5/18, with students being released at 2:25 to the 1-8 Gym. Mrs. Serstad is planning the event. Feedback or suggestions to make our time together with the kids in the gym fun and memorable is always welcome. We will have a more formal Carelli Cup Trophy presentation near the end of the school year.
End of the School Year Preparation
The remaining weeks of school will seem to go very fast. As we plan for the end of the school year, a reminder that our guiding principles (each minute of class time is crucial for guiding students forward) hold true right up until the last minute of class on the last day of school. We treat the last day/week of school as if it was any other. We will run this Early Release Schedule on the last day of school with normal classes taking place.
Forward Exam Information
The 7th and 8th graders have completed their Forward Exam testing sessions. The 6th graders will begin testing on Tuesday, 4/25. The state testing season is almost done! Thank you for your flexibility and efficiency in ensuring a successful testing environment and experience for our kids.
