M-STEP Testing Continues

Our 3rd and 4th-grade students are continuing M-STEP testing next week. In addition to M-STEP, NWEA, and Acadience assessments are ongoing and will continue next week. Your child’s teacher will communicate specific dates, times, and classroom preparation details. Many teachers are also planning healthy snacks to help support student focus during testing.

A good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast are two of the best ways to help students perform their best.

Please avoid scheduling absences during this important testing window.

Thank you for your continued support in helping make these assessment days smooth and successful!

Kindergarten enrollment

If you have a new student to enroll in BK or Kindergarten for the 2025 - 2026 school year, please contact Mrs. Reiber at 517-925-5681. Once your child is registered, you will be invited to attend ONE parent meeting. During the parent meeting, we will discuss our BK and K programs, kindergarten curriculum, expectations, preferred school supplies, and other important information to help you and your child prepare for their kindergarten year. Your child must be registered before attending a parent meeting; we ask that you attend only ONE parent meeting. If you have not yet enrolled your child for BK / Kindergarten, please use this link: Enroll Today!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
