April:

Middle School Families,

We hope your family had a wonderful spring break and are well rested! As we move into the final stretch of the school year, we look forward to important milestones and events that celebrate our community and student achievement(s). From state testing, field trips, and performances, our students will have many chances to shine. 

A Few Important Reminders:

• Attendance Matters: Consistent attendance is critical to student success. Please continue to ensure your child arrives on time and ready to engage in their learning each day.
  

• Upcoming Events: April brings some important milestones for our students, including state testing from April 17th to April 28th. These tests are an opportunity for our students to demonstrate their growth and achievements. Additionally, don’t miss our Fine Arts Night on April 10th, where we will celebrate the creative talents of our students through art displays and music performances.

April Focus: Art & Creativity at Home

We encourage you to help foster a sense of creativity and artistic expression at home. Engaging in creative activities—whether through drawing, music, cooking, storytelling or just reading a book—can significantly enhance problem-solving, critical thinking, and emotional expression in students.

Stay Connected:
As always, we encourage you to stay engaged with school happenings through our communication channels, including the newsletter, push notifications via the Sylogist app, and social media.

Thank you for being a key part of this journey. Let's make these last nine weeks of the school year memorable, joyful, and filled with creative moments!

Sincerely,
Principal Mike Bread
