Testing Update

All VTCAP tests - (Vermont Comprehensive Assessment Program) for grades 3-6 are now complete.

I am so happy to have this all completed before spring break.

mm

We want to wish all of you a fantastic spring break! After working so hard on the VTCAP assessments, we hope our students take time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the fresh air.

We've challenged all of our students to do at least one physical activity each day over break—whether it's going for a walk, riding a bike, playing outside, or trying something new. Stay active, have fun, and make the most of this well-deserved time off!

Have a wonderful Spring Break!

Bike Week

ss

Bike Week has been a huge success! Our students had an amazing time riding bikes with their friends. For some, this week marked a big milestone—going from never riding a bike to becoming confident bike riders!

It's been inspiring to see how bike riding has boosted the confidence of so many students, and we’re thrilled that they’re also learning the importance of bike safety.

A big thank you to Mrs. Webb for making this possible and for incorporating bikes into PE time throughout the week. What a wonderful way to promote fun, fitness, and confidence!
