Dear WRA Parents,

As the holiday break approaches on Friday 21st we want to wish your family a safe, restful, and joyful time together. We are incredibly thankful for your partnership this year and look forward to a successful end to the semester.

Important: Attendance for Testing Week

We are writing to remind you about a critical testing window the moment we return from break:

Students will be taking important assessments from Monday, December 1st, through Friday, December 12th. The specific testing schedule will vary depending on your child’s grade level.

These assessments—including MAP Growth and i-Ready—are crucial tools we use to measure your child's academic growth and understand their specific areas of strength and need. The data helps us tailor our instruction and provide the right support for them to continue learning and growing.

We are urging all families to prioritize 100% student attendance and punctual arrival during these two weeks. Testing is challenging for students to complete when they have to make up work or test outside of the scheduled window.

Please help us ensure a smooth testing environment by making sure your student is present and well-rested each day.

We hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday! We look forward to seeing all our students back on December 1st.
