Virtual 3rd–5th Grade Principal’s Coffee – Assessment Chat
When: March 31 at 9:15 AM or 6:00 PM (choose your caffeine time wisely)
Where: From the comfort of your home, office, car, or wherever your Wi-Fi is strongest
Hey 3rd–5th grade parents! It’s time for our next Principal’s Coffee, and we’re spilling the beans (and maybe some coffee) on all things assessment. Join us for one of the two virtual sessions on March 31 — morning folks, we’ve got a 9:15 AM slot; evening crowd, swing by at 6:00 PM.
This isn’t your average school meeting. We’ll be sharing helpful resources, giving you the lowdown on what assessments your child will be tackling, and answering your burning questions like:
“Why are there so many acronyms?”
“Is this test going to ruin spring break?”
“How can I help my child without turning my living room into a tutoring center?”
Bonus Perks:
- Every attending parent earns a Free Dress Pass for their child. That’s right — your kid gets to skip the uniform (legally).
- Parents who don’t attend will be assigned homework. No joke. We’re talking videos, handouts, and maybe even a pop quiz (okay, not really... but kind of).
So grab your coffee, tea, or preferred beverage, and log in. Trust us — your future self (and your child in free dress) will thank you.
