Spring Arrives
Astronomically speaking, the March Equinox
occurs when the sun crosses the celestial equator
on its way north along the ecliptic. In the
Northern Hemisphere, the March Equinox is
known as the vernal, or spring, equinox, and
marks the start of the spring season.
The March Equinox happens at the same
moment across the world but is converted to
local time. In 2015, it falls on March 20th at
6:45pm EDT, 5:45pm CDT, 4:45pm MDT,
and 3:45pmPDT.
The Vernal Equinox
The word equinox is derived form
the Latin words meaning “equal
night.” All over the world, days and
nights are approximately equal. This
day, the Sun rises exactly in the East
and sets exactly in the West.

1st PARCC Testing Completed
Great Job Faculty & Students
The kick off of PARCC was a great
success. The 3rd & 4th grades finished last
week and the 5th and 6th grades finish
Additions
tomorrow. There were very few technical
problems due to the practice in the fall.
Welcome New Staff & Faculty
Everyone came together and provided the
students what they needed to do their very
best. Thank you to all the families for
minimal absences and sending well-rested,
attentive students to school. There will be
more testing in May but the students did
very well at getting regimented to the new
testing system.
Our School is growing and
so is our family.
Please be sure to welcome
our new TEECS members.
