School Dance!
Our “Spring Fling” school dance is on Wednesday, May 4 in the WBU auditorium!!! The dance will start during school at 11:15 am; all students will be dismissed to the auditorium during the last 45 minutes of project time. Attire must be school-appropriate and formal attire is encouraged. Students must be present at school to attend. Students may not leave and return.
Students dismissed at the usual Wednesday time (12:00) unless they have a signed permission form: dance permission form to stay after 12:00. Dance ends at 1:00. Clean-up 1:00-1:30. Parent pick-up by 1:30.

Chromebook Return
We will be collecting all Chromebooks and chargers the last week of the school year (May 16-19). ASD announced students may keep Chromebooks over the summer: this is not the case for our school.
We recognize this is different from ASD procedure for neighborhood schools. We want to ensure we have enough Chromebooks to maintain 1 to 1 when school starts in the fall. If you have specific academic needs for a student Chromebook over the summer, email a request to mokelke_adam@asdk12.org
Thank you for your understanding. As always, contact me with any questions or concerns.
Assessment
This week we begin MAP testing, on Tuesday (ELA) and Thursday (Math). Students will begin testing in the morning during their advisory class. Any students who are absent for the test will have an opportunity to make-up the test on Friday this week.
Outdoor Lunch
We now have lunch outside every day! Please remind your child to be prepared to eat outside and to bring a cold/sack lunch. Microwave use is limited to emergency situations only- please do not send noodle cups. On days when the weather is not cooperative we will offer an indoor option for students.
