Hello Spartan Families,
We are officially a week away from testing. To alleviate testing jitters and anxiety, we’re seeking your assistance.
We would love for you to write at least three separate letters of encouragement for your student so they can read them before testing.
Please be sure to seal each letter in an envelope. Label each envelope with their name and please keep this a secret from your student so that it will be a delightful surprise for them!
*3rd and 4th grade will test for 5 days and 5th grade will test for 6 days!*
Send letters by April 20, 2026
