Good evening Penderlea Families,
Here are some important information and updates for the week of May 27th through May 30th and beyond.
We hope everyone had a meaningful Memorial Day and a restful long weekend. We're excited to welcome our Hornets back for the final 5 days of school—let’s finish strong!
EOGs Testing- Week 2
We’re now in the second week of End-of-Grade (EOG) testing, and our students continue to impress us with their focus and determination. These assessments help us measure progress and guide instruction—but most importantly, they give our students a chance to show how much they’ve learned and grown.
This week includes:
Tuesday May 27th
Math EOG re-administration
Wednesday May 28th
Science EOGs for 5th and 8th grade students
Read to Achieve (RtA) testing for select 3rd graders
Thursday May 29th
Reading EOG re-administration
Student success is strongest when supported by both home and school. Your continued help—ensuring your child is well-rested, has a healthy breakfast, arrives on time, and feels encouraged—makes a meaningful difference.
Thank you for all you do to support your child and our school. Let’s keep the momentum going, Hornets!
