Please accept my apology for not getting this email out sooner. Students in grades 3-5 are currently doing a Benchmark practice test. This is a practice test in preparation for the WVGSA. They are testing by grade levels, so all students are not testing every day. Our schedule is modified with students who are testing having a different lunch time and specials in the afternoon. Thank you for your continued support and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out.
