ERB Testing

Each year as part of T/E's assessment program, students in grades 6 and 8 participate in the Comprehensive Testing Program published by the Educational Record Bureau (ERB). ERB testing will take place Monday, October 7th through Friday, October 11th.

Teachers will work with students to familiarize them with the testing process and to make the experience as comfortable as possible. If you have a child in grade 6th or 8th you should have already received further information on this from Assistant Principal, Sr. Orlando Carvajal. Please reach out to him if you have any questions.

From Nurse's Office

-Please ensure that your students are eating breakfast or grabbing a granola bar prior to coming to school.  Breakfast is available each day at no cost in the cafeteria for students. The nurse’s office is now accepting donations of barrels of pretzels or nut free animal crackers.

 -If your student reaches out to you during school hours via email or text, please instruct them to visit the nurse's office. Nurses will contact you if your student truly needs to go home. Feel free to call the nurse’s office to inquire about your students if you are worried about them. We are happy to call them down to check on them.
