End of Year Testing Begins
End of year testing has begun at Larsen Elementary! We just wanted to give a few ideas that will help your students do their best on their testing:
*Each student should get plenty of sleep so they are well rested and ready to start the testing process.
*Make sure that your child gets a balanced breakfast each morning.
*Please have your student arrive at school on time.
Thanks for all your help in making this testing process successful for your students!
Energy Incentive Challenge
Recently our district applied to earn the Energy Star Certification. We sent in Energy Star applications for 44 of our facilities and ALL 44 qualified. This is an amazing feat because in order to qualify a building must score in the top 75 percentile compared to other schools around the nation. Our district average score was 99, with many schools scoring a perfect 100.
