Astronotes for March 21, 2018

Mar 21, 2018 | Bud Whileyman


I hope everyone had a great Spring Break.  As we return we will be going full speed ahead to finish out a strong last half of the school year.  We have started our tutorials for any 3
rd, 4th, or 5th grade student who may need some extra help in getting their skills to the expected level for their grade.  You should be notified if your student needs to attend.

Next week will be a short week with students and staff having a 4-day weekend in celebration of Easter.  There will be no school on Thursday – Sunday, March 29-April 1. After we return from this break our first round of STAAR testing will be Tuesday, April 10th and Wednesday, April 11th. Tuesday will be 5th grade math and 4th grade writing.  Wednesday will be 5th grade reading.  Good luck to all our 4th and 5th graders.
