Tomorrow, students in grades 5 and 8 will take the science portion of the West Virginia General Summative Assessment (GSA). Please make sure that your kids get a good night's sleep, have a good breakfast, and are here on time. Testing begins at 8:00 and by state rule, anyone who arrives late to school will be unable to test that day and will have to take a makeup test. Also, don't forget to make sure your child's laptop is fully charged for school. Also, students must complete any and all GSA makeup tests prior to attending a scheduled field trip. Therefore, attendance on the regularly-scheduled GSA exam days this week is crucial. A limited number of makeup test opportunities are available before field trips begin in earnest next week. We're so proud of the work and effort our kids are giving this week! They rocked the English/language arts test today!

In honor of School Nurses' Day, we want to thank our special needs student nurse Heather Reckart!

Save the Date: May 24th and 25th will be field day here at Bruceton School. Parents are welcome to join their children to take part in the games and activities this year. To help accommodate everyone, PK-2 will have field day on May 24th and grades 3-8 on May 25th. More details will be forthcoming.
