The Week of March 27th

Weekly Newsletter

Welcome Back from Spring Break!

I hope you all had a restful Spring Break. We are in the 4th quarter and the end of the year is quickly approaching. This is always such a busy time at Charles Ellis and there will be many things happening, beginning with GMAS testing next week. 

GMAS Testing Schedule

Monday          4/3                  ELA   Section 1

Tuesday         4/4                  ELA   Section 2       
Wednesday    4/5                  Math  Section 1           Thursday       4/6                  Math  Section W2

Although 3rd grade students will take the GMAS test on the above dates, 5th and 8th grade students will continue to take the test on 4/7, 4/10 and make-ups will be on 4/11. This means that parents will not be able to come in for lunch or to volunteer on any of those days. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Some suggestions for snack are: precut fruit (apples, grapes, bananas cut in half, oranges, etc.), precut vegetables with hummus for dipping, cheese and crackers, granola bars or chewies, trail mix, applesauce, hummus and crackers, yogurt or Gogurt, graham crackers…  The purpose of snack is to provide a nutritious energy booster when the students need it.  Please keep in mind the nutritional value when choosing a snack.
