Dear Thoreau Families,

We have an energized week ahead as we "march" toward Spring Break! As we enter the final stretch of the third quarter, I want to encourage all our students to stay focused on their academic goals. Please remember that our teachers and counselors are here to support you every step of the way.

8th Grade IRW Testing 

On Wednesday, March 25, our 8th graders will complete the Integrated Reading Writing (IRW) SOL Test. To ensure a smooth testing environment:

• Laptops: Please ensure your student arrives with a fully charged laptop and their charger.
• Morning Routine: All students (7th and 8th grade) will report directly to their 1st-period classrooms to start the day.

7th Grade Activities While 8th graders are testing, our 7th graders will have a productive morning focusing on:

• A review of Student Rights and Responsibilities
• Career planning via Naviance
• Targeted SOL review content

Thank you for your continued partnership in your student's success. Let’s finish this quarter strong!

Sincerely,

Teresa Khuluki

Principal
