Greetings from WBS!
As you know, April and May are very busy months for everyone. That holds true for us here at WBS as well. This week we will begin PSSA testing for all students in grades 3, 4 and 5. This is an important test for all students, and we know that they are ready to do their very best and show us what they know. A few ways you can help support this at home is to ensure that your child is rested, eats a good breakfast (either at home or at school) and that you encourage your child to stay focused and work hard on the test. Your support and encouragement mean a great deal ~ so thank you!
Reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow due to a teacher in-service day. We look forward to seeing everyone back on Wednesday 4/24 as we begin our PSSA testing. If you have any questions regarding PSSA testing, please call me at 215-723-1711 or send me an email at shadfield@soudertonsd.org and I will be happy to help you.
Happy Spring!
