Sea Kings Families,

Spring has sprung, although the weather doesn't quite match it yet. Hope all our Sea Kings families are well.

The picture above is from Mrs. Kier's 8th-grade science class.

In March, Mrs. Kier and Ms Sanders' science classes started a student project themed after March Madness called Mammal Madness. The students used scientific research methods to choose a different mammal each week that was pitted against another student's selection in a 'bracket style' competition. Factors such as temperament, habitat, and size were all considerations for the winner in each match-up. The students loved the project, thank you to all that participated and to our science teachers for organizing such an interactive lesson.

Finally, if you did not receive the latest message from Dr. Cherniss, please review it below. The Board of Education is meeting tomorrow morning in closed session and your feedback is important to determine next steps. Please take a moment to provide your thoughts on both interim candidates as well as your thoughts on important traits of our next Superintendent. CLICK HERE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK

Be Well!

PVIS State Tetsing Calendar 

Please take a moment to review the CAASPP testing calendar (May 2023). Student performance on the CAASPP is very important to our school and our annual goals (SPSA).
