East Hill Update

 
NYS Testing
Our third and fourth graders will take the New York State English Language Arts Assessment next Wednesday, April 21st, and the NYS Math Assessment on Tuesday, May 4th. The test is only one session this year and should take no more than one hour. The tests, administered on the computer, will be given to only in-person students (not remote). Like every other day, please make sure your child comes to school well rested, well fed, and on time. Our fourth graders will also take the multiple choice portion of the NYS Science Assessment on Monday, June 7th.
Purple Screening Slips
More and more students are coming to school each day without their completed purple screening slip. Please make sure they are prepared with this daily. If you need more slips, just let us know. Thanks!
Toss & Fire Pizza Fundraiser
Stop in to Toss & Fire Pizza in Township 5 this Wednesday between 11:00 am and 9:00 pm for lunch, dinner, or a snack, and 10% of your total order will be donated to the East Hill PTA. Here is a flier with more details.
