Principal's Note
May is finally here! We will be half way through the final marking period during its first week and there is still so much to do and learn. May is a very critical month for us here at Mansion Avenue School. We will be testing all our students in Grades 3-6 on the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge. These tests are given each year to evaluate how our students are doing at mastering the New Jersey Core Content Curriculum Standards. It is very important to us that each and every child who is taking the test is ready. The test for the 5th and 6th Grade students began Monday, April 30 and will be completed on Thursday, May 3. The following week, May 7-11, we will be testing our 3rd and 4th Grade students. This week will also be make-up week for our 5th and 6th Graders. Finally, the week of May 14-18 will be the make-up week for our 3rd and 4 h Grade students. Our students will be tested in the areas of Mathematics, Reading, Writing, and Science. It is important to us not only that your child do the best they can but that understand that you care about how well they do and show them that you are confident that they can. To help your child do their best; please be sure they get a good night's sleep, have something for breakfast, are here on time. I know you have heard it before but it is very important that we all give a great effort. We want to thank Mrs. Stolte and the Audubon Grade School PTA for providing an early morning snack for the students on the days of the testing. With the wonderful May weather, everyone's thoughts of summer fill the air. Please, be sure to remind your child that school is still the most important activity they need to focus on. Students have a tendency to have their performance drop off in the last marking period. Keeping your child focused until the end of the year will benefit not only them but you, too. One area that is very noticeable at this time of year is what the student is wearing to school. Our Dress Code can be found in the Student Handbook, please review its contents with your child. The annual Choral and Band Spring Concert will be held May 15 and 22. The Audubon Grade School PTA will be sponsoring an assembly, Benjamin Franklin, for the entire school on May 21. The 6th Grade members of the Safety Patrol will be going on their annual trip to Washington, D.C. on May 17 and 18. Our annual Moving Up Day will be held in the morning on May 24 followed by our Knock Drugs Out of the Park ball game in the afternoon. Finally, on May 31, the 6th Grade students will be attending their annual field trip to Brandywine Picnic Park. As you can see, things are getting really busy and June is not far away. Until next time - see you around the neighborhood. MOUNTAIN LION PRIDE |
