EOG Testing This Week

Track 1 students in grades 3rd, 4th and 5th will take their EOG this week.  It is important that students get a good night's sleep and arrive at school on time.  Assure your child that they are ready and prepared.

 

Track 1 EOG Testing and Family Lunch Visits

End-of-Grade testing is quickly approaching! To help us maintain a quiet and focused environment, we will not be able to host family lunch visits on testing days due to schedule adjustments. For Track 1, the impacted dates are Tuesday, May 20, and Wednesday, May 21.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we help our students do their very best!
