Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful Spring Break and are settling back into the rhythm of school as we head into the final stretch of the year. This week’s newsletter is full of important information, so please take a few moments to read through it carefully.

First, I’d like to congratulate all of our students who participated in the Talent Show and Art Show. We have so many talented students, and I truly enjoyed seeing them share their unique gifts. It also takes a great deal of courage to perform in front of 420 classmates and more than 60 friends and family members—way to go!

In the classroom, students have set their final AR goals for the year, and we’ve kicked off a month-long Hands-Off Challenge! Please encourage your student to stay on track by reading their AR books and completing quizzes. This is also an important time to stay focused, engaged in learning, and working toward meeting citizenship goals.

Our end-of-year Citizenship Celebration will be a day at SplashZone, and we want every student to be able to attend. To qualify, students must demonstrate self-discipline by completing assignments and actively engaging in their daily classes.

These habits will also support students as we prepare for SBA state testing, which begins Tuesday, May 5, 2026, and runs through Friday, May 18, 2026. It’s important that students get a good night’s sleep, arrive at school on time, and come ready to do their best each day.

Finally, we’re excited to share the results of our recent tetherball tournament—what a fantastic competition it was! Thank you to everyone who participated and showed great sportsmanship throughout the event. There were two tournaments and the winners were:

Let's have a fantastic week. GO TIGERS!
