Dear Rainier Families,
We hope you have all had a wonderful spring break week. Back to school on Monday - we have just six weeks of school left, and so much to do. Please make sure that all students arrive on time every day.
On Monday and Tuesday, 11th grade students will take the Smarter Balanced field test. The tests are not timed and can be saved in between breaks. Testing will occur in periods before lunch.
AP tests - Some payments are still outstanding. Please bring those in to the office immediately.
9th Graders will take the Physical Fitness test on Monday, May 5 (not May 1 as previously announced)
Respectfully,
Lesley Martin, Interim Principal
Dena Zingales, Principal Resident
