It is spring according to the calendar, but it certainly doesn’t look or feel like it, that’s for sure! Hopefully it is right around the corner.Last Friday we were treated to our annual Irish Dancing Assembly with dancers from the Johnston School of Dance. Some of our own East Hill Irish dancers from the Harrington School and the Montague School were also able to join them for a couple of dances. This assembly is always a treat for the entire school.
Next Tuesday night our 3rd graders will perform their concert in the gym. The concert begins at 7:00. Spring break begins on Friday, March 29th and students will not return until Tuesday, April 9th. April 8th is now a staff development day. Because students will not be in attendance on April 8th, the April PTA meeting has been moved to Monday, April 15th at 6:30 in the East Hill library. The PTA will be holding a BINGO night at CMS on Friday, April 12th at 6:00. Be looking for more information about this exciting event.
As mentioned in a previous update, the NYS ELA assessments will be administered April 16th, 17th, and 18th, and the NYS Math Assessments will be administered April 24th, 25th, and 26th. The teachers have worked hard to make sure the students are well prepared for these exams. If you could avoid appointments on these days it would be appreciated. A good night’s sleep and a good breakfast would also be helpful!
In looking ahead to May there are a couple of important dates to mark on the calendar. Open House will be held on Thursday, May 9th from 6:30 – 7:30. The 4th and 5th grade concert will be held on Thursday, May 16th at 7:00 at the high school, and the school budget vote will take place on Tuesday, May 21st.
Enjoy the rest of the week. Think spring and Go SU!
