Dear Parents or Guardians:                                                          April 10, 2026

            As testing approaches, we are trying to motivate the students to do well on the state assessments.  Please talk to your student at home about the importance of trying their best on the test.  Make sure they get a good night’s sleep and eat a good breakfast.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Thanks for all you do!
