Please see the reminders below:

Calendar Change: Just a reminder that next Wednesday, May 10, will be a half day of school and there will be no school on Thursday and Friday, May 11 and 12. This change is due to limited parking and security issues during a CIU Track event that will be held on the MR campus.  The bus will run on a half day schedule on May 10.

Seussical Kids:  Seussical Kids, a musical featuring students in our third and fourth grades, will premiere at the Performing Arts Center (500 St. Andrews Rd) THIS Thursday – Saturday, May 4-6, 2023, at 7 p.m.   Tickets are on sale at benlippen.com/seussicalkids/.

Field Day:  A huge thank you to Coach Brooker, our parents and teachers for all their hard work on our Field Days! Everyone had a blast and we are already looking forward to next year!!

MAP Testing:   All 1st-4th grade students will take the NWEA MAP assessment. Your child’s teacher will let you know the specific testing days, as they vary from class to class. Below are helpful reminders for testing days:

  • A good night’s rest and a healthy breakfast help students to be prepared for testing.

  • Please be sure students arrive on time.

  • Students may bring a snack and a water bottle.

  • MAP test results and final report cards will be mailed home at the end of the school year.

Senior Send Off – Our Seniors will be walking through our hallways on Wednesday, May 17, as students and teachers cheer them on along the way. Feel free to make a sign at home with your child to congratulate the Class of 2023 and make them feel extra special!
