Good evening Cedar Lane Community!
We are officially in the thick of our SOL testing window, and we want to take a moment to express how proud we are of our students. We have seen incredible focus, perseverance, and effort across every grade level so far.
As we continue with testing through the remainder of the window, we encourage our students to keep that same determination! Remember to take your time, read carefully, and trust in the hard work you’ve put in all year. You’ve got this!
To balance out the hard work in the classroom, many of our students and staff spent today enjoying a well-deserved trip to King’s Dominion! It was a fantastic day filled with laughter, camaraderie, and school spirit.
We want to extend a huge thank you to all the students who attended for representing Cedar Lane so well, and a special shout-out to our staff and chaperones for making this experience possible. Seeing our community have such a great time together was the perfect way to wrap up the week.
With pride in your persistence and school spirit,
The Staff of Cedar Lane School
