WE ENVISION EVERY STUDENT THINKING, LEARNING, ACHIEVING, AND CARING
May Elementary Principal’s Report
I can’t believe it, but May is here and it will be a whirlwind of activities, field trips, and events. Everything we have worked so hard for is finally here. The kids are completing their end of the year tests, field trips are planned, end of year projects will be completed, and graduations will be conducted.
First, please make sure that your kiddos are rested and have had breakfast this upcoming couple of weeks as we will be MAPS testing starting on Tuesday. Please note the students don’t test every day in the testing window. We have the test staggered in order to not strain the students or our internet service. If you need a specific schedule, please communicate with your child’s teacher.
Further, you will need to make sure to look for communications of the upcoming events listed below. Permission slips with information on upcoming activities will be in your child’s backpack about a week prior. Please keep your eyes open for these and get the permission slips back promptly.
To conclude, we have a very special last day of school planned with Kindergarten Graduation, 5th Grade Continuation, and the Groundbreaking Ceremony for our brand new school that has a scheduled move in date of August 2024. Construction will start almost immediately after school is out. With that comes excitement and a few obstacles for next year. With that said, next school year will continue as normal as possible in our old building. The kids will play on the south playground next school year and there may be some modifications to pick up/drop off locations throughout the school year. I will communicate any of these changes as much in advance as I can. Even so, I think we can all handle a few inconveniences, for such a cool project that will benefit our children for generations to come.
