We are well into the last full month of school and it is time to gear up for End-of-Grade and End-of-Course testing next week. It seems like just yesterday we were welcoming you and your children at "Meet the Teacher Day!" My, how time flies!

As we prepare for testing please do everything in your power to avoid unnecessary absences and appointments on testing dates. Additionally, please ensure your child gets a good night sleep and a healthy breakfast prior to testing. The staff and I are very proud of the students for their hard work in preparing for the tests, and we feel confident they are going to do their very best, as always.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank, in advance, the eighty or so of you who have signed up to proctor. As you can see, it takes many people to cover all of the testing sessions, and we couldn't do it without you.

Finally, I want to congratulate all of our students who performed in the Musical Theater production of Peter Pan. We have incredibly talented children at Magellan! Also, many thanks are extended to Cheryl Muncie and her assistants, Maria Morton, Tracie Pring and Mr. C for going above and beyond in working with the students to present a fabulous show. We can only hope Peter Pan is the first of many "Muncie" productions to come.
