WEST WING SCHOOL NEWS!!

AZMERIT TESTING:   Testing is underway for 3^rd – 8^th grades.   The testing for these grade levels will take the entire month of April to get through all the subjects.   During this time we ask that you refrain from taking vacations or scheduling doctor / dentist appointments on your child’s testing days if at all possible.  We will also be restricting parents or family members from being on campus for lunch.   We’re doing all we can to keep the distractions to a minimum.  Please make sure your child receives enough sleep and eats a good breakfast to help alleviate any testing jitters that are sure to be present.    Please visit the WW website for more detailed information.

PTSA ELECTIONS:  Wednesday, April 15th  at 7 pm in the Band Room.   All board positions are open for nominations.  You may nominate yourself, a friend or you may co-chair a position if you would like to work with someone.

CPR CERTIFICATION:  Please join us for an opportunity to become CPR certified.  Wednesday, April 15^th @ 3:45pm in Room 209.   The fee is $20 and goes directly to Peoria Firefighters Charities.   The class is being taught by Mr. Serrano who is a Peoria Firefighter.   Please make checks payable to PFFC.

FROM OUR CAFETERIA:

What’s Cooking?

At school, there’s always a meal ready to be served!

Some mornings, it’s tough to find the time to make sure your kids are eating a nutritious breakfast. On those days, why not send them to the School Breakfast Program? Each meal meets government nutritional guidelines and standards.  Schools are required to provide a breakfast meal that includes fruit, whole-grain rich items, and low fat or fat free milk. Check your child’s menu to see the variety of nutritious choices available at School Breakfast, or stop by to sample the food yourself!
