Hello Bobcat families and welcome to the week of May 19th. Here are your reminders for the week:

• This is our final week of state testing. This week, students in 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th grade will be taking their Math State Assessment. 💻 We know they are ready to show what they know. Please be sure your child gets a good night’s rest, eats breakfast, and has been encouraged to do their best. It is very important that they arrive to school on time since the test starts right away in the morning.
• Our Start of Summer Family Picnic was this past Saturday, and we had so much fun! 🎉Thank you to everyone who came out to support Belcher Elementary.
• This Tuesday, May 20^th, from 5 to 8 pm, we will have a Spirit Night at Culver’s on East Bay Drive.🍔Plan on joining us that night to support Belcher Elementary.
• The last day of school for students is Thursday, May 29^th and it will be a full day of school. Students will be dismissed at 2:55pm as normal.

That’s it for now. Have a great week and go Bobcats! 🐾
