| Dear CP Families,
Grades 3–6 begin IAR testing on Monday. Please make sure your student’s laptop is charged and they bring headphones. Grades 3 and 5 will test in the morning, and grades 4 and 6 will test after lunch. Getting to school on time, eating a healthy breakfast, and getting a good night’s sleep really helps students do their best. If your student will be late, please let the office know—daily attendance is important so everyone can finish testing.
Also, we’re excited to see our student performers at the Variety Show on Friday evening! And congrats to all the students who participated in the Battle of the Books this week. We are proud of your work and dedication! Have a wonderful weekend. Take care, Ms. Rodriguez |
