6th Grade Parent Night – 5th Grade families, as your child's transition to 6th grade approaches, we would like to invite you to attend the 6th Grade Parent Night on Thursday, April 18th, at 6:00 pm. The event will be held at Bear Valley Middle School. This is an excellent opportunity for you to learn more about the 6th-grade curriculum, class schedule, and meet Mr. Wrzeski, as well as other staff members. We understand that this transition is an important milestone for both students and parents, and we want to ensure that you feel informed and prepared for the upcoming school year. We encourage all 5th grade families to attend this event to gain valuable insights and ask any questions you may have about the transition to middle school.
Upcoming Events:
CAASPP Testing – CAASPP testing for 3rd through 5th grade students will begin on April 23 and go through May 8. This is an important assessment that helps us understand your child's progress and ensure they receive the support they need to succeed academically. To minimize disruptions during testing, we kindly ask that you schedule any appointments for your child in the afternoon. This will help ensure that students can complete their tests without interruptions and focus on demonstrating their knowledge to the best of their abilities. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated, as it will help create an optimal testing environment for all students.
Lockdown Drill –We will be conducting a lockdown drill on April 22 at 10:45. During a lockdown drill, our primary goal is to practice achieving maximum safety in the event of a threat. This means that our campus will be locked, and all students and staff will remain inside the buildings for the duration of the drill. While we understand that drills can be unsettling, they are an essential part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment for everyone in our community.
ELAC Meeting – ELAC (English Language Learners Advisory Committee) is a school level committee made up of parents, staff, designated to advise school officials on English learner programs and services. Join us for our ELAC meeting Wednesday April 24 at 5:30 pm via Zoom
