ISAT Reminders
Please remember that students have one more test on Monday morning. It is important that students get enough sleep, a nutritious breakfast, and attend school on time. Thanks for following these guidelines to ensure your child's best performance. Also, thank you to the many parents who sent in healthy snacks and drinks to help us keep up our energy. The students have really appreciated it!
