Q2 Math Benchmark

MATH BENCHMARK RESCHEDULED FOR MONDAY, FEB. 1ST! 

Originally, our Math Benchmark for Quarter 2 was scheduled for Thursday, January 21. Unfortunately we missed our testing date because of the inclement weather we received. Our new testing date will be on Monday, February 1. 

This weekend, students will come home with a math review packet. Students must complete the packet and turn it in on Monday morning. Students can also get additional math practice on IXL.com using the Quick Links tab on our PES homepage. 

For the benchmark, make sure you get plenty of rest and eat a healthy breakfast. This is your time to shine and show all that you've learned this quarter. Good luck! I know you will do great -- I believe in YOU! :-)
