Dear Orlando Gifted Academy students and families,
I hope everyone had a relaxing Spring Break and was able to spend some time with their loved ones. We are in the home stretch for the school year and it will be May before we know it!
Our 4th-8th grade students begin taking Florida’s Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards for Writing this month. Then, May will have a variety state and district assessments throughout each of the grade levels, so stay up-to-date using our calendar above. Please remember to send your child to school on these days prepared with a good night's rest and a healthy breakfast. It is important not to schedule doctor appointments on these days so students can be focused and are given the correct amount of time for each section of the test.
Important days in April:
Monday, April 1: B.E.S.T. Writing (4th-5th Grades)
Tuesday, April 2: B.E.S.T. Writing (6th-8th Grades) / 3rd Quarter Report Cards Go Home
Tuesday, April 9: 4th Grade field trip to St. Augustine
Thursday, April 11: School Advisory Council (SAC) meeting – 4:00 PM, Media Center
All week, April 22-26: Teacher Appreciation Week!
Friday, April 26: 2nd Grade field trip to SeaWorld
Thank you to all of our families for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Mr. Sean Maguire
Principal
