Panther Families, End of Grade testing will be here in just 6 weeks. Here are the dates, please check appointments and other things to ensure that students in grades 3 through 5 will be present for their EOG testing on May 8, 12, 14, and 19th!

We cannot believe that End of Grade testing is only 6 weeks away, but it is! Which means we are in our planning stages and need volunteers to sign up to help Proctor tests. If you are able to provide any proctor support on May 8, 12, and/or 14th, please fill out the form found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHJfwxkHMhn10r0_aTjDXAJjbb4SUnWTT6cghIkE_Hwrv22Q/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=100472563247803560136
