MAP Updates:
I so appreciate everyone’s flexibility and patience with MAP testing.  Our students put forth their best effort this past week and remained quiet in the halls.   The LEAP schedule for 3-5 is a little different this week. There is no LEAP for 5th Grade on Monday, 4th Grade goes in the afternoon on Tuesday, and 3rd Grade goes in the morning and will return before lunch on Wednesday.  Let me know if we need to make adjustments for individual students.  4th graders will need to eat lunch BEFORE leaving around 11:45.

MAP celebration:   We will be celebrating the end of the MAP testing and the efforts of all students on Thursday, May 5th.  Grades K, 1, and 2 will have extra recess from 9-10 and Grades 3, 4, and 5 will have extra recess from 2-3.  In addition, we are working to secure some kind of fun treat.  

Lindbergh Foundation Grants

Saturday, April 30 at the LHS parking lot from 9-3, you can test drive a car from Sunset Ford.  No sales pitch.  The foundation gets $20 for every test drive.   I can’t wait to see all of you there.

Administrative Professionals Day

This Wednesday is a special day to celebrate the lovely Terri Musante for all that she does.  Be sure to recognize her in some special way.  

Viviano’s Order

Please be sure to submit your order for the Viviano’s Italian lunch if you have not already done so.

Teacher Survey

Please take a quick moment to complete this survey.  I appreciate your honesty and reflections.  This is the perfect time of year for all of us to be thinking about what was effective and what can be improved upon for next year.

Outdoor Learning
It was so great to see all of your students enjoying and learning in the outdoors this past week.  Don't forget about the science carts.   I am hoping we will have the tree stumps for the garden ready this week.
A Random Idea to Try: EdCamp for Students

A special thanks to Anna Martin, Paula Graef, and Teri Keutzer for attend the PTG meeting.  The parents really appreciate seeing your dedication!
