State Testing
Schedule
The month of May marks the beginning
of state-wide testing. The CSTs California State Tests – are
administered to all 2nd – 5th grade
students. Please look over the
schedule on page 2 of this newsletter to
see when your child will be participating
in State tests. Be sure to mark your
calendars as students cannot be
removed from classrooms once testing
begins. I have had parents beg to have
their student removed for that dentist
appointment which was made 6 months
ago, but we cannot comply. So, please
look at your calendars, and then put a
big X on their testing dates. Thank you
for your support and understanding.
Please try to get your child to school on
time, well rested, and fed with a
nutritious breakfast. A well balanced
meal will help your child stay alert and
focused throughout the tests. Testing
will begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue
through until 11:00 a.m. Classrooms
cannot be interrupted during the
timelines (9-11) which is why it is VITAL
all students get to school on time.
Jog-a-Thon
a HUGE Success –
over $20,000 raised for
PTA!
Our Arlington Super Stars participated
in our annual Jog-a-thon Fundraiser.
What fun! Thank you to all the families
for their time, energy, cheering, and
volunteering to make this event such a
success! The best thing about this
fundraiser is 100% of the proceeds
will stay at Arlington for the PTA!
POPCORN!!!

Arlington School
$10K News –

close!!! Please make checks
payable to Arlington
Elementary School. Thank
you for your continued
support!!
