Hello Park Lodge Dolphins!

It is hard to believe we are already moving into the month of May. We are nearing the end of the school year and are looking forward to a strong finish.

SBA (Smarter Balanced Assessment)

This month brings us the Smarter Balanced Assessment state testing for our 3rd-5th grade students. Students will be testing on May 19th – May 22nd and May 27th – 30th. Additionally, 5th grade students will test on June 4th. It is important that students are at school on these days. Please encourage your student(s) to get plenty of rest prior to testing and encourage them to take their time, read each question carefully, use the process of elimination when unsure, and do their very best on each test.

May Events:

May 5th – May 9th

  • Teacher Appreciation Week
    • We appreciate all the hard work that our teachers put in to make Park Lodge a wonderful place to be. Encourage your student(s) to show their teacher some appreciation by sharing kind words, drawing a nice picture, or creating a thank-you card.
