PRINCIPAL'S WEEKLY MESSAGE 

The Week of May 1, 2023 
 
 
 

Dear Petrides Parents,  

It’s Spring testing season!  Students in grades 3 through 7 will take the NY State Math assessment on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Advance Placement exams (for participating high school students) begin on Wednesday and will continue for several weeks.   

 

We know our kids are ready to show what they know.  Make sure your child gets plenty of rest the nights before test days and encourage them to eat a healthy breakfast.  For State exams: Please send your child with two #2 pencils and their Scientific calculator (if they have one).
