Good afternoon,
We cannot believe it is May already! We are sending out the updates this week a little early to help us prepare for a few events upon us including Bike to School Day (Wednesday), PARCC testing (Tuesday) and Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week. Please see further information below:
Spring Concerts: Our Spring Concert has been moved to Thursday, June 6th for one night. The event will look as follows:
PARCC Testing and Logistics: PARCC testing for students in general education will begin Tuesday, May 7th. Thank you for your helping us to create a calm, supportive environment for our students as we try to reduce the stress of testing that many students can experience – we are confident each student will do his or her best! Additionally, to accommodate testing, we are switching the morning breakfast and recess times between Grades 3-5 and K-2, so the schedule will look as below for the next two weeks:
Grades K-2
8:05 – 8:30 – cafeteria
8:30 – 8:50 – students run around outside
8:50 – 9:05 – students back to cafeteria for those that didn’t have breakfast yet.
Grades 3-5
8:05-8:30 – outside
8:30-8:50 am. – cafeteria /breakfast
Afterschool Enrollment begins Wednesday May 1st at 9:00 a.m. Registration is only available online at https://dcps.dc.gov/node/1063782. As a reminder, students will need to be registered for the 19-20 schoolyear in order to register for afterschool (please call the main office if your student ID number is needed). We are encouraging all families to enroll for school and afterschool asap!
End of Year Graduations/Promotions: It is that time of year to start marking your calendars for end of year celebrations! Please check with teachers on individual times, as we have tried to spread out promotion dates across a few days to allow families with students in multiple grades to attend.
Bike to School Day: Please join us for Bike to School Day Wednesday, May 8th! Details below:
From the PTO: Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week! Please help us in supporting our entire staff with events throughout the week, including:
Lastly, thank you to everyone who attended, assisted, or participated in last week's school auction. It was a great success and simply another indication of the strong community support we are fortunate to have at Ludlow-Taylor.
Thanks for your continued support!
