MEAP Day 2!

We had a great morning MEAPing and in the afternoon, we had time for Spanish, Media Center Checkout and language arts. We also had some extra time to learn about the importance of good nutrition! Remember to get lots of rest and eat a good breakfast in preparation for day 3.


Parents - Please avoid making appointments for your children during the testing window.





Please remember, MEAP testing on the 11th, 16th, and 17th. Please make sure your child brings in good books or magazines. The state law mandates that if a student finishes the test early during any testing block, the only thing he/she may do is read. They may not draw or read on an electronic device. In fact, they can’t bring any electronic devices into the room (this is not a rule I usually have so it may be a challenge at first). Go to the library and get 3 or more JUST RIGHT chapter books for next week to read. Students will have an opportunity to read these after testing!







We received out Choice Hour selection sheet n Friday. Our class is entering a choice hour movie contest! We really want you to help us win by returning your selection sheet on ASAP!!!! If payment is required, please attach it to the form.
