^{Dear Families,}

^{Step-Up Day}

^{As we prepare for the final two days of school I want to remind everyone that Step-up Day will take place on Tuesday, June 11th, for all of our students who will be moving up to grades one, two, three, four and five. Tuesday, June 11th, will be a full day of school for all students in grades Kindergarten through four and hot lunch will be served. For those children who will be transitioning to grades one, two, three or four, specific times have been scheduled during the day when those students will meet their classmates and teachers for next year. Our current fourth graders will be transitioning to Amherst Middle School for part of the morning on June 11th and will meet all of the fifth-grade teachers at that time, but their team placements will not be finalized until the summer.}

^{Fourth-Grade Fond Farewell - Dismissal}

^{Important Message for all fourth-grade parents and families attending our Fond Farewell Celebration on Monday - please be sure to put your child/children in PUP on Monday if they are being dismissed at the end of the celebration.  This will ensure safety for all and also a quicker dismissal process. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.}

^{Summer Enrichment Online Resource – Opportunity to Utilize New Resource and Provide Feedback}

^{This summer, we are offering access to a limited number of students to an online resource to provide enrichment to students throughout the summer.  The Renzulli Learning online system allows students to engage in self-directed learning by exploring safe, fully-vetted resources that have been specifically matched to their individual profiles.   This system has students apply, deepen, and extend their learning through assignments that enhance critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. It encourages students to think outside the box and apply what they’ve learned in engaging activities that match students’ learning style, expression style, and interests.}

^{If you are interested in accessing this resource, we ask that you ensure your child utilizes this resource throughout the summer and provide us with feedback at the end of the summer.} 

^{The feedback will help us to determine if we use this resource with students moving forward.  Please use the following link, Renzulli Learning, to sign up for access.} 

^{Enjoy the beautiful summer weather this weekend.}
