5. We will be taking our end of year Sage Writing tests next week on Wednesday and Friday in conjunction with the NAEP testing. Please encourage your students to do their best on this test. I know it is early in the year, but the state will hand score the tests and the results will be ready for parents when students complete the rest of the ELA test in May. I feel like students have improved tremendously this year in writing and I am excited for them to SHOW what they can DO! If you have questions or concerns on the testing let me know! 

-Have a FABULOUS week!
