SOL Good Luck Sign

We had a busy, but productive week at Lemon Road.  We concluded our SOL testing and are preparing for some retakes.  In addition, we have been working on our end of year testing for the Reading iReady, VALLSS and Math MAP.  We will be concluding this testing and working on additional end of year learning and activities.  

Last week was our final PTA General Meeting of the year.  We appreciate all our parents who have been supporting the PTA and joined us at meetings.  A special thank you to Caitlin Gaffey & Jessica Bradford who have served on the board for the last two years!  We appreciate the impact you have made on our school and community.  

There is no school on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  We hope that your family will enjoy this time to relax and recharge!  We will see everyone back on Thursday, May 28th for a short week.  Have a great rest of the weekend!
