M-Step Testing

Tomorrow we will be starting our M-Step testing. Please make sure your child gets a good nights rest, a healthy breakfast and has a positive start to their day. All of these will help contribute to your child doing the best they can on this important test.

Also, please make sure your child is at school on time. If they make it on time, they will receive a ticket to enter into a raffle for a chance to win a $5 gift card!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thank you,

Mr. Grzesik & Mr. Peri
