Field Trip information- We will be traveling to Grand Rapids right away Monday morning. The bus will leave at 8:30 am, so please be on time! Students will need a sack lunch, and can bring their own technology on the bus. Make sure they have headphones for music or games. Technology use must be school appropriate and will be taken away if it is not. All technology is brought at your own risk. SJPS is not liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged technology. There will not be WiFi on the bus. Technology should be brought in a backpack along with the sack lunch. Masks are optional at Van Andel. We will return to school at 2:30 pm.

M-STEP Information- 5th graders take 4 M-STEP tests (ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies) starting the week of April 18th-May 20th. We will take one assessment a week on each Wednesday. Please try to encourage good sleeping habits and eat a good breakfast before each test to help your child focus their best on the test. Please try to limit absences on these days, because making up these test sessions is difficult. I will allow SUGAR FREE GUM during these tests and will collect any gum donations ahead of time.

Spring Weather
As temperatures begin to warm up, please remind your child that they will need a coat for recess if the temperature has not reached 60 degrees. If they are playing and get warm, they are asked to tie their coat around their waist. As the weather starts to warm up, please be sure students are dressed appropriately. Clothing that exposes underwear or too much skin is prohibited. This includes midriff tops.
Springtime Activities: The days are getting longer and busier as spring activities are getting underway. Please help your child perform well by getting enough sleep and continuing 30 minutes of reading nightly. We appreciate the encouragement and support you give your child to do his/her best at school each day. Thank you!
Library Books: Please help your child remember to return or renew his/her library books every Friday. The media center is asking students to return late books and monitor how many books they have checked out to ensure all books are returned by the end of the year.
