| Parent tips to help your child prepare for state tests (April 2-25)The Ohio State Tests for grades 3-6 begin on April 2. As a parent, you can take several steps to help your child have a positive testing experience: Schedule medical appointments outside of school hours. Plan family trips and activities on non-school days. Have your child prepare for school the night before to avoid tardiness. Ensure your child charges their Chromebook each night and brings it to school each day. Encourage your child to eat a nutritious breakfast to fuel their brain. Help your child establish a sleep routine that includes at least eight hours of rest each night. Promote outdoor play after school, as increased oxygen to the brain supports thinking and memory.
Following these tips will not only help your child perform better on tests but also support their overall academic success and daily energy levels. |

| Cross Indian Rd. with Ms. Shelly Now that warmer weather is trying to return, more students are walking and biking to school. Students have been instructed to cross Indian Rd. only with Ms. Shelly, our crossing guard, before and after school, for their safety. Although a crosswalk is painted at the corner of Indian Rd. and Ashborne Pl., students are NOT permitted to cross there. Your reinforcement of this message at home is greatly appreciated. |

| Let's pull together In memory of Dr. Bauer's daughter, Charley, we will be collecting pull tabs from aluminum cans to raise funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). Tabs can be collected in any clean container and added to the large orange box near the elementary main office. RMHC is paid by recycling companies for the aluminum and uses the funds to purchase meals for families using their programs. Our goal is to collect 42 gallons of pull tabs by May 30, the end of the school year. |
