Dear Parents,
TerraNova Tests scores have been received from March 2017 and were distributed to students in Grades 4 to 8.
This year the reports are a little different, Every parent should receive two Home Reports for each child. The first Home Report indicates your child's test results by objective. If you have a particular question please contact your child's teacher who will help you with interpreting these reports.
We are very happy with the progress made in all grade levels.

SPRING Track & Field:
WE NEED PARENT VOLUNTEERS TO "RUN IT!"
The SJS K-8 track program has been run
entirely
by parent
volunteers
for each of
the past 3 years.
In order f
or the program to continue, we need to begin transition of the administration of the program to 2-3 new parent volunteers for the 2018 Spring Track Season!
Administrative duties can be easily shared and entail the following: monthly attendance at League meetings, ongoing parent communications, coordination of volunteers, and the administration of the Hy-Tek track software for each of the meets.
Have a wonderful weekend!
God Bless!
