From the Desk of Mrs. Wise
Happy Friday! We wrapped up the first round of ISTEP+ this week with the exception of some make-up testing. We are really proud of the effort our students put forth this week. We really appreciate your help in making sure your child was at school ready to do their personal best. Our next round of ISTEP will occur April 18 - May 6. So, if you can avoid making appointments during that period of time, we would greatly appreciate it. Since it is the computerized multiple choice test, students will be testing at different times during the school day during that testing window.
Have a great weekend! Get out and enjoy the sunshine!!!
Mrs. Susan Wise
