Please join me in congratulating our schoolwide 3rd quarter S.M.I.L.E Award winners!
The S.M.I.L.E. Award stands for Shine, Motivate, Improve, Lead and Empower; and is awarded to students by a member of the MUES staff. Students selected exhibit positive character traits that align with the vision of our school community!
SOL testing begins at McNair Upper ES next week and will run through the month of May. Students in grades 3-6 will take both the reading and math SOL. Our 5th grade students will also take the science SOL. Below are a few friendly reminders to help your Mustang do their best on their upcoming SOL tests:
- Make sure that your Mustang is well-rested and gets a good night's sleep.
- Prepare your Mustang a healthy breakfast the morning of each SOL test.
- If your Mustang is not feeling well, please have them stay home and rest. Makeup testing sessions are available to students who miss school on the day of their SOL test(s).
- Make sure that your Mustang arrives to school on time. All testing begins at 9:00 AM. If they are tardy to school and testing has begun, they will be unable to test that day and be placed in a makeup testing group.
- Encourage your Mustang to not stress over the test. If your Mustang would like to practice for their upcoming SOL tests, they can complete SOL Pass activities that their classroom teacher has assigned to them.
- Be proud of your Mustang and let them know this- they have worked hard all year!

As administration begins collaborating with classroom teachers to form grade level classes for the 23-24 school year, I understand that parent/guardian input is valuable to consider too.
Interested parents/guardians that would like the opportunity to share their input with me should do so no later than Friday, May 5th. The type of information you are welcome to share with me can include the learning environment your child does their best work, a description of your child's learning style, and specific areas of strength or opportunities for growth that you feel best describes your child. You may also include the names of peers your child works well with. We will do our best to partner them with at least one. Providing input is optional.
I kindly ask that you do not request specific teachers; rather keep the focus of your email to the type of learning environment and learning style that will support your child's academic and social wellness success.
Thank you for your continued partnership in making your child’s experience at McNair Upper ES a positive one!
Your Proud Principal,
Mrs. Goddin
