CMAS Testing continues for 3rd – 5th grade.  Please make sure your students are well rested and on time for testing.  We have a celebration planned for May 6 to Skate City for all 3rd-5th grades.  Parents must fill out a permission slip,  which went home last week, and return it with the appropriate funds and lunch selection.

Principal Notes:  We hope you will join us for our annual family potluck- Dish-A-Story. This event is such an amazing way to share stories and food with your community! Please see the attached flyer for all the details and RSVP!

Have a classroom/teacher request?Here is Asbury’s policy for teacher requests: Parents may not request a specific teacher assignment. You may want to share information that might help us make classroom assignments.  The information about a student should address educational needs (e.g., learning style, interests, areas of concern, strengths).
