All welcome! st century life-long learners and leaders. Our third, fourth, and fifth grade students are in the process of taking PARCC and are working very hard to make us proud! PARCC is an assessment of reading and math achievement that is scored for each child. The intent of the test is to provide educators, parents, and the public with valuable information about the student, school, school system and state performance with regards to learning standards established by the Maryland State Department of Education. Parents will receive test score information regarding their child(ren) once available. We are thankful for the opportunity to work with your children every day. Like you, we are committed to helping your child achieve academic success. Together, we can help each child to be successful. This school year is passing by so quickly, but we want to take the time to wish all of you a very happy spring. Spring cannot come soon enough with all the snow and missed school days we’ve experienced. We appreciate all you do to ensure your child’s daily success. Instilling consistent routines and the importance of coming to school each day and on time are skills that will serve your children well their entire lives.
