Oh my - It's going to be May!!!
Dear Families,
Here comes May! Monday will mark the beginning of our last 6 weeks. Consistency and keeping our focus on learning will be our battle cry during this time of year. There is a tendency to want to lighten up and begin the process of decelerating into the summer. NOT AT TWIN LAKE!!! We will remain focused on keeping our teaching and learning push all the way up to the last day of school. We ask that you echo this same focus at home. There are many important instructional lessons we still need to accomplish this school year. Keep the grind on your mind!
That said, we will also have cool experiences that fill our calendars. Be aware for information sent home from your teachers to be sure not to miss out on anything.
MSTEP on Monday for our 3rd and 4th graders! This assessment is a State mandated assessment that we must have 100% participation on. If you have a 3rd or 4th grade child, please take every measure to have them here on time and well rested. This assessment is a celebration of learning and a measure that helps us improve instruction throughout our district.
