Dear Parents/Guardians:

An important decision was made in 2006-07 concerning students’ test scores on the state’s End-of-Grade tests, given in grades 3 through 8. The entire letter is posted to one of our Blackboard sites so please click on the following link.

EOG Test Information.

During the week of May 12 th we will have a school-wide daily EOG review program called “Power Hour” that will focus on objectives that teachers have identified as needing some review. The Lions, Jaguars and Topcats will compete against each other for top honors in the 7 th grade. Points will be awarded for effort, behavior, attendance and team color spirit. Our EOG tests will be given on May 20, 21 and 22.

The spring 2008 Parent Matters Newsletter has been published and is now available to download online in both English and Spanish. We encourage our parents and school community to read this newsletter by clicking on the link provided below.
