OAS families,

Students in 3rd-11th grades are still expected to complete state testing this spring. Attached is the revised calendar for state testing. If you have any questions about the state testing requirements, please contact your child's teacher and/or building. They can then provide some more guidance. We will work on having the best testing environment that we can for our students and know that they will rock whatever test that they need to complete.

Go Owls!

Happy Virtual Learning Friday!

We made it through the first week of the 4th marking period. The end of the year is going to come quickly.

Here are the RES announcements for this week:
*Students in Michigan in grades 3rd-11th are still expected to complete state testing this spring. The week of April 12th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students will be completing some of this state testing. 8th-10th graders will be taking the PSAT and the 11th graders will be taking the SAT and the Work Keys ACT test. Be looking for emails pertaining to the exact testing times along with more information. If a student is unable to test next week, then they will have an opportunity to complete the test during a makeup time later in the month.

For RES our 5th grade students will be the first ones testing. They will be testing the week of April 19th. It is very important that students are well rested and attend school these days (if this is possible). Students will be using their laptops to test so students will need to make sure they are charged and at school on their testing days. Attached is the 5th grade informational letter that was sent home. 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade students will be testing soon.

*Monday, April 12th is our next Be Kind day at RES. Students are encouraged to wear shirts with inspirational messages or the Be Kind colors of pink/blue. Students are also encouraged to do random acts of kindness today. If caught, a student will receive a Caught Being Kind ticket and can turn it in for a small treat. From April 12th-May 7th we are going to have a grade level Caught Being Kind Challenge. The grade that has the most pink tickets turned in will earn a treat on May 10th.

*RES also has our University of Michigan autographed football raffle going on. The money raised will go towards all of our rewards that we hand out to the students, such as Owl Buck prizes, our end of the year reward day, etc. Stop by the office to purchase tickets.

We hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather!

Stay safe! Stay healthy! Have a fabulous Friday of learning Owls!

Thank you to Sarah Negro and Salon 121 for her donation to Chester and our therapy dog program. Without the community support we would not be able to have this opportunity for our students. The students absolutely love Chester and we are very appreciative of all of our donations!
