East End Elementary School

Dear Second Grade Families, We hope this message finds you well. We previously sent home a letter regarding the CogAT and Iowa testing. Due to the effects of Hurricane Helene in our area, we have made changes to the testing schedule. Testing will now begin on Thursday, October 10th, and will conclude on Friday, October 18th. We will not test on Monday, October 14th or Tuesday, October 15th, due to the SDPC school calendar. We were already scheduled to be closed for a Fall Break and Professional Development Day. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher, Mrs. Spearman, or Mrs. Swinyer. Thank you for your understanding and support. Best regards,

We are thankful for our amazing custodians. We hope you have a great day.

Here is an updated list of assistance.
