CSAP Breakfast Schedule
Dear Parents,
An activity Mrs. Rigsby and I did last year was having a class breakfast each morning prior to beginning our CSAP tests. I would very much like to repeat this activity this year. The CSAP potluck breakfast extravaganzas allow students to celebrate all the hard work they have done to prepare for the CSAPs. The event last year proved to be very enjoyable for the kids and me as well. It is a great way to set the tone for a positive testing situation, which can sometimes feel stressful. I assigned each parent something to send in on a specific day. If your assignment will not work, please let me know as soon as possible, and I will make necessary adjustments.
Thanks so much,
Amy
