Dear Parents/Guardians,
The end of the school year is fast approaching. There is still some testing that needs to be completed for some grade levels. In addition, a number of end-of-the year activities have been planned. The listing of events at the end of this letter is the most up-to- date listing of these tests and events.
Phase IV Reconstruction begins on the Olmsted Middle and High School in July. During the reconstruction students in grades 5, 6, and 7 will be relocated to School 97, the Harvey Austin School. Students in grades 8-11 will be relocated to School #11. A walk-through at School #11 was held last week. A walk-through for parents of students entering grades 5-7 will be held on Saturday June 5th from 10:30 until noon at Harvey Austin, 1405 Sycamore Street. This is just a reminder. Letters were sent home with all students about this walk through last week
