Hello Weaver Families,
Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope that you and your loved ones are refreshed and ready for the final stretch of the 2018-2019 school year! There are still so many amazing events coming up that it's important you stay informed!
On Monday, students in grades 3, 4, and 5 begin our statewide assessments. Students will be assessed in the areas of language arts, mathematics, and science. It is critical that students are at school on time during this testing period. These computer-based tests provide valuable data for staff. Through data analysis teachers will determine areas of strength and areas in need of improvement. This information drives our instruction for the upcoming school year. These assessments also allow our students to SHOW WHAT THEY KNOW and have pride in all they have achieved this year! We are so proud of our Weaver Whales!
As always, with any testing, please encourage your child to do his/her best work. Children who are well-rested, nourished, and encouraged from home, tend to score better than those who do not have that support. We so appreciate your support in making sure that your child is present on all days of assessment.
Have a great week!
Rick Larson
Interim Principal

Safety is a Top Priority at Weaver!
Student safety is a top priority for all of here at Weaver Elementary School. Please join me in making Weaver safe by following these safety precautions.
- Parking is not permitted along the yellow curb in the roundabout. Busses drop students off at Weaver throughout the day, and parked cars do not allow those busses to get kids home on time.
- Turning left into the roundabout is not permitted between the hours of 7:45 AM – 8:15 AM and 2:25 PM – 2:55 PM. Turning left on Wembley creates a traffic hazard, causing other drivers to approach oncoming traffic to head northbound. Instead of turning left, parents are encouraged to head northbound on Wembley and wait in the drop off line.
- Pick up or drop off is not permitted in the Kids Korner parking lot. This lot is for staff only. Please use the roundabout for pick up and drop off purposes.
- Pick up or drop off is not permitted in the Piedmont Staff Lot. This lot is for staff only. Please use the roundabout for pick up and drop off purposes.
