In Appreciation: On behalf of our entire staff, THANK YOU for an incredible week filled with special notes, flowers and a delicious luncheon! We would like to thank the PTA and Nan Yang, the hospitality chair, for arranging the wonderful week of appreciation!
SOL Dates: This is a reminder
that our SOL testing starts on Tuesday, May 8. Please be careful not to schedule
appointments for your children on test days and avoid late arrivals/early

tests. We anticipate that
all of our students will do very well.
