Message From The Principal

Hornet Families,

We have an exciting week ahead in Hornet Country! On Tuesday and Wednesday our 2nd-5th grade students will be taking their end of year benchmark testing. This testing is critical for our teachers to plan for instruction as we prepare for the upcoming end of grade testing. Wednesday will be an early release day for students with dismissal beginning at 1:00PM. Lastly, Friday we will have our annual Field Day! This is an exciting day for our students and community! This year we will have several vendors that will have food and snacks available for cash purchase. The Field Day schedule and important logistical information is listed in the below newsletter for your convenience.

Please take a few minutes to review the information in the below newsletter.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your continued support,

Dr. Allen M. Wilson

Principal
