Dear Families of the MS 104 Community:

I hope that everyone had a nice week away from school. We now head in to the final stretch of the 2022-23 school year! There are many events upcoming as make our way towards the end of June.

Tomorrow, our students in grades six through eight will be taking Day One of the state ELA test. Day Two will be administered on Thursday, April 20th. In preparation for the exam, I wanted to remind our students and families of the following:

• Get a good night's sleep! This will have students feeling refreshed and focused on exam days.
• Eat breakfast! Nutrition is an important part of being at your best on exam days. As a reminder, breakfast is available, FREE, to all students in the cafeteria every morning beginning at 7:40 AM.
• Get to school on time! Plan accordingly to ensure you are at school for morning entry at 8:20 AM.
• Think positively! You have worked hard with your teachers in preparation for the exam and are ready!
• Make sure that you bubble in your answers correctly. As you answer questions, double check to ensure that you are entering answers for the corresponding items.
• Do your personal best!

I thank our ELA teachers for all of their hard work in preparing our students for the exam and I wish our students the best of luck!

Please see some announcements below.

Have a great rest of the day!

Sincerely,

Rocco Macri, Principal
