The countdown has started, the dates are all set,
For the NES testing we won't soon forget!
After Spring Break, when you're rested and bright,
It’s time to show off what you know is all right.
Starting April 9th, we’ll show what we’ve learned,
With MAP and with SOLs, let every page be turned.
From Reading to Math, and Science too,
There’s a special day planned just for you!
3rd, 4th, and 5th, you’ll lead the way,
With two-day tests to brighten the day.
1st and 2nd join in the fun,
On May 7th and 8th, you’ll get it all done!
So eat a good breakfast and get lots of rest,
Be here by 8:30 to do your very best.
With a pencil in hand and a smile on your face,
You’re going to win this big testing race!

Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Davis's 3rd Grade Math Students are Multiplication Ninjas!!
Students who successfully mastered all 12 multiplication tables earned a special VIP celebration.
During the party, students had a great time making candy sushi and celebrating all of their hard work and dedication to learning their multiplication facts. It was a fun way to recognize the effort they’ve put in and the progress they’ve made.
We are so proud of their accomplishments! Great work, mathematicians!

🐾 Frank the Cat here. I’ve been watching the weather (and chasing a few suspicious leaves), and it looks a little too wild out there.
Out of an abundance of caution, all Northumberland County Public Schools and offices will be closed tomorrow, March 16, 2026 due to the threat of severe weather.
Stay safe, stay dry, and maybe sleep in a little… I know I will. 🐱
