Dear Dragon families,
We are so grateful for all the love shared with our staff during Teacher Appreciation Week. It was a beautiful time and we appreciate you, for ensuring our teachers felt the love.
We are in the midst of SOL testing. Although these tests are only one measurement of your students’ knowledge, it is the test used to ensure all of our students are accessing grade level material. The test schedule is below. Please ensure your children get a good night’s rest and are on time to school on the day of testing. Your support in encouraging your child to do their best and show what they know would be greatly appreciated.
We are down to just a few short weeks left until the end of the year. It is hard to believe how fast this year has flown by!
With much appreciation,
Kate Beckner, Proud Principal
