Dear Explorer Families:

The Spring Carnival is here!  Join us on Saturday, May 18, from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m.  Pony rides, train rides, bouncy houses, food, BOGO book fair, games, and much more. 

All first graders wore hats to school today in celebration of  'H' day in our alphabet count-down to summer. 

Pastries with Parents is Tuesday, May 21, at 8:15 a.m.  Come enjoy our last morning event with your children!      

Eismann Elementary is supporting Relay for Life, Relay Recess.  Be looking for the Relay Recess envelopes in Monday Folders.   Our students, teachers, and administrators have the opportunity to unite with communities across the globe to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has taken too many lives. During our field day events in June we will be walking and running to support the American Cancer Society.  Thank you for your participation.     

Fifth grade students will be taking online MSP tests next week.  Please ensure your child is on time and well rested.  Students need to be at school all day. Thank you for scheduling appointments around these dates. Our students are ready!  

• Tuesday, May 21:  5th Grade Reading MSP 

• Thursday, May 23:  5th Grade Math MSP

Wednesday, May 22 is a student waiver day.  Students will not come to school and teachers and administrators will be participating in training at various sites throughout the district.     

See you at the carnival!
