Our Lions are continuing to Level Up as we head into Week 2 of ATLAS Summative Testing (April 20–24)! 💪✨
Each day brings new opportunities for our students to show what they know and how much they’ve grown this year. We are proud of their focus, effort, and determination!
👨👩👧👦 How families can support:
✔️ Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep
✔️ Arrives to school on time each day
✔️ Eats a healthy breakfast
✔️ Encouragement goes a long way—remind them to do their best!
🚨 Reminder: Please avoid scheduling appointments or early checkouts during the testing window so students can finish strong.
