News:  

1. ISTEP Testing – This window opens April 30^th and runs through May 9^th.  We would kindly ask you to avoid appointments as well as other out of school activities during this week as this creates the need for make-up testing time for your child which involves them missing more classroom instruction time.  During this test window, the 4^th & 6^th grade students take the test online; therefore, these two grades will be testing throughout the entire day.  The 5^th grade tests will be paper/pencil so they will test at the same time as a whole grade level in the mornings.
2. PTO News:  In recognizing teachers and staff on May 9^th ( National Teacher Appreciation Week), the PTO will be putting together a breakfast for the MIS staff.  If you are interested in helping or donating items for this event, please contact Mrs. Slaybaugh at  michellemlynns@myninestar.net.  Thanks.
