Good Morning! Today is Day 5.

Tomorrow, May 6th, the 8th Graders will be taking the NYS Science
Assessment. Students need to bring in #2 pencils with erasers and a
calculator. Please encourage your child to get a good night's rest and
eat a nourishing breakfast as part of their preparation for this
assessment.
Since the Assessment is only for 8th graders, our 7th grade students
will be picked up at their usual bus stops on a 2hr delay schedule.
