STATE EXAM ANNOUNCEMENT – All 3rd and 4th grade scholars will take the ELA and Math state exams online on Tuesday, May 4th and Wednesday, May 19th respectively. Please ensure your scholars log on to their google classroom and ring central link at 8:00 AM for specific instructions on those two days. You may see the attached letter in English, Spanish and Creole regarding state exams from our Chief Schools Officer.

Families, please note that school will start earlier in the 2021-2022 year for our students, beginning on August 16. This change will add 11 days of learning for CALS students. We are making a change to the academic calendar because students have lost many hours of school this past year. Also, adding instructional time to next year’s calendar will benefit all Ascend students and allow us to begin mitigating post-pandemic impacts sooner. We believe every extra hour of learning matters in preparing our students for success in college and beyond. Please read the letter from our CSO Brandon Sorlie and CEO Lisa Margosian, available in English, Spanish, and Creole.
