Teacher Appreciation Week - Scrip Makes a Great Gift!
On Friday, May 7th students can show their appreciation for teachers by gifting scrip.  Participation on this day is completely voluntary.  Some suggestions are a small gift of $10 or less. Scrip makes a nice gift and we have many choices of scrip in $10 denominations such as Borders, Starbucks, Bath and Body, Subway and many more. 
  
For questions, please contact Dana Hardenburgh, Scrip Coordinator at dhardenburgh@serraschool.org or 888-1990, ext. 121.

     The results of these tests are one of the criteria used in the Math and Reading placement rubric for your student next year. Therefore, it is very important that students not miss their Math and Reading Center time during May.  Please also make sure your student(s) are rested and have a good breakfast on their Math and Reading Center day. 
     We appreciate your help in contributing to the success of your student.
