Good evening, 

*We have posted our CAASP Testing Sign Up Genius for 3rd-8th grades ONLY. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0a4eaaab29a6fe3-caasp1

It is super helpful if you sign up now and put the dates on your calendar so we do not have to keep emailing and calling to get you to sign up. All 3-8th graders need to select two DIFFERENT dates to complete the tests. 5th and 8th graders also need one ADDITIONAL slot to take the Science test.

*Arete Student Survey- If your child is in 4th-8th grade, we would like them to complete the Arete Student Survey so we can see how we are doping and how we can improve (the parents survey is coming soon). If your kiddo was at the Resource Center this Wednesday or Thursday, they should have taken it at school. If not, please have them take it here. Thanks so much!

*Square 1 Art Paper orders are due to the Arete office April 5 and online orders are due April 8.

*Brush-a-Thon continues this week. Logs are due after Spring Break. Students who complete them will receive a color changing cup and be entered into a drawing for an electric toothbrush.

*The state of California requires 5th and 7th graders to complete Physical Fitness Testing each year. This year we have scheduled the testing for Monday, May 16.

*Track Reminder- Beginning Monday, March 28th practices will be at the Bear River track from 3:30pm-4:45pm Mondays,  3:30pm-4:30pm on Wednesdays, and Fridays from 2:40pm-4:00pm. 

We will meet right after school at the tables in the quad at Magnolia.  We will need to start walking to BR by 3:25, so runners will need to get dressed quickly and be ready to go! 

**There will be a parent information meeting on Monday 3/28 after practice at the BR track, 4:45pm-5:15pm.**

*Reminder that team sports require up to date vaccinations (not including Covid) and funds will be charged $150 to pay for track meet fees and coach stipends. No fees charged to students in the Blended Middle School.

*Spring Photos with Aimee O’Brian are coming, with options for sibling or non- Arete student pictures as well!
