From Principal Kelly:

Hello Families,

Spring has sprung and new beginnings are all around us.  If you have been offered a Kindergarten seat at AmPark for the 2019-2020 school year pre-registration will take place the week of April 29th.  Please call the main office to schedule an appointment with Damaris. Please spread the word for families that you know within the community.
​

April 2nd and 3rd bring the ELA State Tests for our 3rd - 5th graders.  The test will begin promptly at 9 a.m. Third grade teacher Casey Burns shared tips to “Destress the Test!” at our last PA meeting.  The powerpoint will be posted on our website, but the most essential points for students to remember are:

  • Take deep breaths and do your best.  You’ve got this.
  • Eat a healthy breakfast with protein the morning of the exams.
  • Get a good night’s rest and come to school on time.

Come on out and join in the fun at the annual Spring Auction on April 5th.  It is a wonderful community event and opportunity to make new friend with other family members.  We hope to see you there!
In April all families have the opportunity to attend the annual District 10 Parent Symposium at In-Tech on April 6th from 8:30 - 2:30.  There are workshops, events, guest speakers, and a new chorus that our own Bonnie, and many of our amazing student singers are a part of! 

4/8: PK-2 Sing
4/15: 3-5 Sing
4/15-4/18 Spirit Week
4/19-4/26: Spring Recess
5/3 Family Tea/PA Recap for April - We will be introducing Kiara our new acting Parent Coordinator at this meeting.  Please join us!
