Greetings Parents and Community Members,

Happy March! The English Language Arts (ELA), Writing, Math and Science FSA Assessments and the End of Year exams will be administered in April and May. This month serves as our last push to review and practice the skills that students may need to improve, so we call it “Crunch Time”.

You can help your child to be prepared by making sure that they read for at least 30 minutes each night without interruptions from television, video games or background noises. This will help them to build up the stamina that is needed to read long passages that they will see on the assessments.

Many grade levels are planning end of the year field trips to celebrate the completion of testing. Please note that students must meet behavior expectations in order to attend off campus trips. If you have any questions about your child’s progress, please contact the school or attend our next SAC meeting on March 10th at 6 PM.

Did you know we have a full-time School Social Worker and Resource Room with free books, parent guides and videos to help with your child at home? We also will be starting a Food Pantry reserved for Parents and Community members. Feel free to stop by the school and see Mrs. Grant, our School Social Worker.

Sincerely,

Shedrick Dukes, Ed.S. Principal

Happy February!!! We are now into the third quarter of school, and our teachers and students are working extremely hard to get our school to a “B” by engaging in rigorous classroom activitiesand assessments. As we continue to prepare for the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) I encourage you to view the assessment dates posted on our school’s website and newsletter.

Currently, we are encouraging all students in K-5 to utilize iReady at home to prepare for the upcoming exams. If you have any questions concerning this software program, please contact the school or attend our next SAC meeting on February 11th.
