A MESSAGE FROM MRS. POWERS

Dear Parents,

This week (Monday through Thursday) students in grades 1-6 will take Terra Nova Third Edition* achievement tests. At times, students become anxious about achievement testing. Here are some helpful ideas for for your family during testing week:

  • Pray with your child every morning
  • Develop and maintain a routine schedule
  • Be sure your child gets a good night’s sleep
  • Provide a healthy breakfast and avoid sugary snacks
  • Allow your child down time to unwind after school

Important Reminder: If you haven’t done so yet, be sure to schedule your Parent Teacher Conference using the online link below!

In Christ,
Carrie A. Powers
Elementary Principal

We believe in a strong partnership with our parents.

At Eden, that partnership includes every Eden family completing 15 service hours each school year. The preschool family requirement is 7.5 service hours in a school year.

Families are responsible for fulfilling the required hours by April 30 and recording them in ParentsWeb no later than May 3. Service hours not fulfilled are billed (rate of $10 per hour) to the family in May.

If you have questions about volunteer opportunities or fulfilling your hours, please contact your campus volunteer coordinator: Kathy Chopp-Carozza at kcarozza@edenca.org
