Dear Parents,

As most of you realize, the school year will quickly fly by now that it's February.  You may not believe this, but progress reports go out this Thursday, and exams are in three short weeks.  Please ensure your child understands the importance of working diligently in class each day.  Each of us here at SBM wants your child's grades to be a true reflection of their knowledge and effort; help them get the grades they really want!

Also around the corner is state testing.  The dates set for that are April 4th - 12th.  Please make sure your eagle comes to school each day well rested and ready to do his or her best on the state test.  The state department of education places a high amount of importance on these tests, and ultimately, SBM is graded based on the students' performance, so we want to make sure our kids feel ready to give it their all!  More information and specific details about testing will be given to your kids soon, so ask them about it.  You can also expect them to come home soon talking about their testing goals in each subject.  If you have any questions about the state test, call us, and we'll get you the information you need!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Seibert
