Dear Families,
Our first week in May ended with sunshine and many celebrations! As we journey into May and closer to the end of the school year, we appreciate your support with our focus on learning. Students did a nice job of showing off their learning on the MAP test this week. This reading and math assessment is nationally-normed which allows staff to track progress and target skill growth.
The end of the year brings many dates. Here are a few things you may want to know about, however, this certainly does not include everything across all individual classrooms!
Please join me in spreading a word of thanks to all of our teachers and staff at Ivy Hall as Staff Appreciation Week is this coming week. I am continually amazed by the outstanding professionals we have at Ivy Hall who always put students first.
Have a great weekend,
Mike Senatore

Dear Parents,
The 5th graders are so excited to put on their music show, I NEED A VACATION! Wed. May 10th at 6:30 p.m.
Some students have volunteered to do an extra part. If your child has an extra part, they may have already brought home a note explaining what their part is. Please try to put together any kind of costume to represent the part.
If your child is not doing an extra part, please have them wear normal clothes, but please nothing with letters or numbers.
Looking forward to seeing you!
Sincerely,
Ms. Jane Coleman
Music Director
