In this final week benchmarks start on Monday! These benchmarks are formative exams which help teachers plan for instruction in the second term and helps students take ownership of their own learning as we progress through the year. They are very important, and kids and staff take them seriously. However, students should NOT stress about them.

Between our in-building activities, our after-school sports and clubs, and their own busy lives, it can be easy to accidently overlook the academics as we near the end. Be sure to have a conversation with your student about their academic progress. 

We hope that everyone has a great upcoming week! There are many things going on, so check out Week calendar.  Spirit Week is in TWO Weeks. Benchmarks start the week after, and after that is FALL Break. This term is running full speed ahead. Be sure to talk to your students about their academic progress and about their grades.
