Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,
It is hard to believe that next Friday will be the start of spring break. As we begin to get into the final quarter of the school year, we ask that you have conversations with your students about the importance of finishing the 24-25 school year strong. We are proud of all of the positive things our Jaguar students have accomplished this year and we are looking forward to the next few weeks.
On Wednesday, April 9th, and Thursday, April 10th, we will be administering the (ELA) English Language Arts Part 1 & 2 End of Course Assessment. Test takers need to arrive at normal time. Similar to a traditional school day, breakfast will be available in the morning for test takers.
Non-testers will have a DELAYED start. They may arrive at 10:30 am and regular classes will begin at 10:44 am. Busses will run at their normal times. Please click the following link to view the remainder of the spring testing schedule.
Have a great weekend and Go Jags!
Let’s come together to make the spring slide a thing of the past!
As we approach the last few months of the school year, we want to emphasize the importance of maintaining consistent attendance and finishing the school year on a high note! As we start to see more sunshine, it may start to feel like the year is coming to a close, but we aren’t there yet! These months continue to offer valuable learning opportunities, experiences, and celebrations! Please continue having conversations with your student about the importance of finishing strong. It’s always a great day to be a Jag!
