-Important Reminders-
Volunteers/ Chaperones NEEDED- We desperately need parents/ guardians to become official volunteers so you can be chaperones on field trips. We would like to take our students on more field trips but cannot do so without YOU! Please stop by the office to pick-up a volunteer packet and talk with Ms. Debbie or Ms. Larissa about the process.
CAASPP Testing- Every year, California students take several statewide tests. When combined with other measures such as grades, class work, and teacher observations, these tests give families and teachers a more complete picture of each student’s learning. CAASPP will be administered to all 3rd through 6th grade students at Harkness May 13th through 24th. Assessment details will be sent home with 3rd through 6th graders soon. Please do everything in your power to ensure your child attends each testing day. Click here to view and work through practice tests with your child at home: CAASPP Practice Tests
