I hope you all had a wonderful and restful spring break. I am thankful for time off, and I am recharged and ready to finish this school year strong. Many events are happening, so please make sure you scroll through the whole newsletter.

First, I want to apologize for. There was a typo in my message from last Friday. ACAP testing starts for 7th grade the week of April 6th. You will find the schedule below for all 3 grades. Please try to avoid checkouts and absences during testing days. We should be done with testing by 11 am daily.

*If your child receives state testing accommodations, some of the dates above might be different. You will receive separate communication.

I will be visiting classrooms this upcoming week until next Monday, explaining my expectations for our students during state testing. My message will be: “Do your best, all I can ask for is the very best you can give.” 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email or call me.

We are so proud to finally introduce you to something the PTO Board at Bumpus has designated a lot of funds to and poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into. We’ve been planning this renovation for a year now, so having this project finally finished and ready to use by our faculty and staff is such a sweet moment for us!

Flip through the images to see before and after pictures of the new Bumpus Faculty Lounge. We hope it serves our faculty and staff well now that they have a calm and peaceful place to come and unwind and recharge.

Enormous thanks goes to Brendt Blanks at She Gave It A Go for her absolutely flawless design magic, and to Ken Gaddis, a.k.a. “The Hoover Handyman,” for all he did to help us assemble furniture and decor for the room! You can find Ken over at his website at: http://www.thehooverhandyman.com/.

We can’t recommend these fantastic Bumpus parents enough for their business, so check them out and support the businesses that support our school!
