Good Evening Bulldogs,
End of Grade (EOG) Testing will begin for our third, fourth, and fifth grade students on Thursday. All students will complete their reading EOG on Thursday, May 23rd and the Math EOG on Friday, May 24th. Our fifth grade students will complete their Science EOG on Wednesday, May 29th. The test schedule is posted on the school’s website. All students must complete the required tests for their specific grade level.
Please encourage your child to give their best effort on the assessments. In addition, please make sure your students are well rested as well as arrive on time to school for testing if they are a car rider. Our buses should operate on their normal schedule on all testing days. Students are encouraged to eat a free breakfast at school each day.
Retesting and remediation will take place from Friday, June 7th through Wednesday, June 12th as needed.
Also, we look forward to recognizing our students for their achievements this year during our End of the Year Awards Ceremonies that will begin on May 30 with PreK at 9:30. First Grade Awards will be Friday, May 31st at 12:00. June 4th we have our 4th grade awards at 9:30 and our 2nd grade awards at 1:00. Our 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony will be held on June 4th at 6:00 PM at The Clayton Center. June 5th we have our Kindergarten awards at 9:30 and our 3rd Grade Awards at 1:00. June 6th is our last day of school and will be an Early Release day with dismissal starting at 1:45.
Our students and staff have worked hard this year, and we are excited to end the year with testing as well as celebrations to acknowledge the achievements of our students. As always, feel free to reach out to the school if you have any questions or concerns. Have a wonderful evening!
Want to allow your child(ren) to purchase books from the Book Fair but don't want to send cash? No problem! Purchase a gift card and they are good to go! Literati gift cards are just like Scholastic's E-wallet. Students can bring in the gift card or the cashier can find it on the cash register app.
One Last Volunteer Opportunity!
We are so excited to host a 6-day book fair event to wrap up our school year and get books in students' hands for the summer. Each class will be previewing Tuesday, May 28th, and have ONE day to shop as a class based on their BEP Library Day. We need volunteers to help monitor students at the times below. Thank you for volunteering during this busy time of the year!
