The new semester brings several testing sessions for our first grade kiddos throughout the month of January. Although there is no need for you to help your child prepare other than being at school every day, on time. We do not have all the schedules, yet, but please keep this in mind as you make appointments for your child. It would be good to give your child’s teacher a bit of advance notice if your child is going to be late or miss school.
