Cougar Connection Newsletter

A note from Mrs. Cureton:

We have had a busy first week back from Spring Break! Please remember that instruction starts, daily, at 7:50am. Please help set your student up for success by having them at school on time so that they do not miss out on instruction essential to their success this year!

Benchmark Testing: We continue the next two weeks with 3-5 math benchmark testing & the 5th grade science TTAP. The campus will be closed to visitors on the day of the science TTAP-Tuesday, April 4th--due to this assessment being a state assessment. 

Please help your child do their best on these assessments by having them at school no later than 7:50am and ensure they get a good night's rest the night before. Dates regarding the math and science assessments are found in the "dates" section of the newsletter below.

Data & Donuts: Please join us on Thursday, April 6th, for Data & Donuts! Students will be sharing their current data with families, families will participate in a fun class activity, & all will enjoy donuts! Pre-K--2nd grade will host this event from 11:00-11:30 in grade level classrooms. 3rd--5th grade will host this event from 11:30-12:00 in grade level classrooms. This day is also an early release day--all students will be released at 12:30pm. There will be no Boys and Girls Club after school care on this date.
