Good day, 

*Staff Appreciation- It’s  not too late to sign up to help treat the staff this week. Also, the lovely parents who are organizing this (thank you to them) are requesting students bring in flowers to their teachers on Monday and Tuesday. There will be cute mason jars in the classes to hold them. Teacher Appreciation Week

*Good news- CAASP tests are shorter this year and students are completing them more quickly so Room 1 will be open for CAASP testing tomorrow and room 2 will be open for 4-8th Resource Center. We are also doing a fun raffle. Every time a student completes a test, they get to put a raffle ticket into the tub. At the end of the test, we will pull our many, many names to choose a prize. We will have Crumble cookies, Pop It Bracelets and Pop it Fidget Toys, fun journals, notebooks, and pens. We are asking all kiddos to try their best.   CAASP Testing

*We are so excited to offer Arete's FIRST yearbook created by our Blended Middle School. The deadline to upload pictures is May 1st. Here is the link. Yearbook Photo Drop  The deadline to customize pages and to PURCHASE the yearbook is Wednesday, May 4th for school delivery on June 3rd. If you order after that you will pay shipping and it will be delivered to your house at a later date. Yearbook order information- www.treering.com/validate. Our school’s passcode is 101636661669265.

*PRSD Survey- I was hoping to have 81 families complete the survey as that would have been 50% of our families. We ended up with 71, which is 44% and better than last year. The comments you left were so amazing, heartfelt and much appreciated so Meredith Doerr and I will be eating a cricket this week on Wednesday with the big kids. (EEEK)

 

*Session 8- 20 Day Meeting Treats will be  Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, May 10, 11, and 12th. Cotton candy will be served in the front office for students who turn in all 20 Day Meeting paperwork on time. (On time means the SAME DAY as your scheduled meeting.)

*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.
