Dear Middle School Parents and Students, next week we will be administering the NM-MSSA assessments on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. It is very important that students attend school on all three testing days—those who are present each day will be rewarded with a pizza party the following week. To help students do their best, please make sure they get a good night’s rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and come to school prepared with their fully charged laptops and chargers each day. Thank you for your support in helping our students succeed!
