CHE Update for 4/3

By -
Good morning CHE. The photo above is of an injured juvenile owl found on campus this morning. Our kindergarten students have named the owl Barney Sparkle Brooster (not my idea!). It has since been picked up by the local bird rescue and is being treated. I will keep you updated if I hear anything additional.

I hope you had a terrific weekend. I saw so many photos of busy CHE kids at baseball, birthday parties, the beach, and beyond. I love that so much of our student body stays so active over the weekend.

Some important updates and announcements:

Honor Roll: Congratulations to our many 4th and 5th grade honor roll students. I enjoyed recognizing so many students at the assembly. Thanks to the many parents for coming to support our students on that day! I know it isn't always possible to make it to the campus and so it is nice to see such a large showing of parents here!

Testing Schedule: State testing is nearly upon us. SBAC testing will take place starting April 24th and will last through May 25th. It is really important our students are here, well-rested, and prepared to test. This is the single-most important State, District, and CHE indicator for student performance. Currently, our schedule is as follows:

3rd grade: April 24-April 28th (all day)
4th grade: May 1st-May 5th (all day)
5th grade: May 8th-May 15th (all day)
Make-ups: ON-going thru-May 25th

To get a glimpse of the test or to help your student practice, check out: Please go to www.fsusd.org/assessment and click on the green button "SBAC Practice & Training Tests" to access the site. Students can access as a Guest at school or home!

Royal Dance and Brickspace are both on campus this week providing lessons to classes to our students. The instruction from both of the groups has been engaging and exciting for students! 

PTA News: Mixed Bag Fundraiser is underway. Packets went home but if you need extras, please check in the main office or email me and I can stick an extra one in your child's backpack! Also, PTA will hold a Mother-Son Hike on Friday, April 14th at Rockville Park starting at 10:00 a.m. at Rockville Regional Park located in the Green Valley-Rockville Area of Fairfield.
