📚💜💛 3RD GRADE, YOU’VE GOT THIS! 💛💜📚

Today, we celebrated our amazing 3rd Grade scholars with a special PEP RALLY as they prepare for their 3rd Grade Reading Guarantee Test! 🎉📣🐾

Our scholars have been working hard, and now it’s time to show what they know! We encouraged them to go into testing feeling confident, focused, and ready to do their very best. 💪🏽⭐

Families, please help us set our scholars up for success tonight and tomorrow morning:

🌙 Bedtime by 8:00 PM — a good night’s rest is important!
🥞 School doors open at 7:00 AM — arrive early so scholars can eat breakfast and get settled.
⏰ Please arrive NO LATER than 8:30 AM so scholars have plenty of time to prepare before testing begins.

We are SO proud of our 3rd Graders and know they are ready to ROCK THIS TEST! 📚✏️🌟

Good luck, scholars! Your CASSA family is cheering you on! 💜💛🐾

CASSA Families 💜💛

Reminder: There will be NO SCHOOL for students on Monday, September 28th.

Families are encouraged to use the extended weekend to help scholars recharge while also keeping their minds active! 📚 Please consider setting aside a little time for reading, practicing math facts, reviewing vocabulary, writing, or another academic activity at home.

Most importantly, encourage scholars to get plenty of rest and prepare for the week ahead. As we move further into the school year, scholars will begin diving deeper into their curriculum, and being well rested, prepared, and ready to learn will help set them up for success.💛
