4th Quarter Countdown

PM3 State Testing

PM3 State Testing begins in just 26 days!

Monday, March 30th we will begin our "Marathon to PM3"!

For the next 26 Miles (Days), our Wildcats will "run" through the final subject units
and begin reviewing and preparing for PM3 testing.

This "Marathon" will require endurance and determination from our Wildcats as they practice the skills/benchmarks needed to be successful on the PMS assessments.

Parents, please assist by ensuring your student(s) are present and on time each day
so they do not miss any of this critical content and review.

Daily Mile Markers will be posted soon with event details and student incentive opportunities!

Join us as we set our pace and sprint towards the finish line!
