Dear Herrera Families,
Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade scholars will begin their end-of-year testing in April 9th, and the rest of the grade levels will start in May. This is a time to reflect, to show what they’ve learned, and to shine bright. We know how hard they have worked with their teachers all year, and now is their moment to apply all that knowledge, perseverance, and growth.
To our amazing students: You are more than a test score. You are creative, kind, strong, and capable. This is just one opportunity to show what you know—and we know you’ll do your very best. There’s no need to be nervous—be excited! This is your time to shine, to showcase all you’ve learned. You are Polar Bear Strong, and we are so proud of how far you have come this school year!
To our wonderful parents and families: Your encouragement makes all the difference. Please send your child to school each day with a kind word, a hug, and a reminder that they are amazing—because they truly are. At Herrera, we believe in every one of our scholars. We see their potential, their hearts, and their brilliance.
Let’s finish Polar Bear Strong—together!
Estimadas familias de Herrera,
Nuestros estudiantes de 3º, 4º y 5º grado comenzarán sus exámenes de fin de año el 9 de abril, y el resto de los niveles de grado comenzarán en mayo. Este es un momento para reflexionar, mostrar lo que han aprendido y brillar con luz propia. Sabemos lo duro que han trabajado con sus maestros durante todo el año, y ahora es su momento de aplicar todo ese conocimiento, perseverancia y crecimiento.
A nuestros increíbles estudiantes: Ustedes son más que un puntaje de examen. Eres creativo, amable, fuerte y capaz. Esta es solo una oportunidad para demostrar lo que sabes, y sabemos que harás lo mejor que puedas. No hay necesidad de estar nervioso, ¡emociónate! Este es tu momento de brillar, de mostrar todo lo que has aprendido. ¡Eres tan fuerte como un Oso Polar y estamos muy orgullosos de lo lejos que has llegado este año escolar!
A nuestros maravillosos padres y familias: Su aliento hace toda la diferencia. Por favor, envíe a su hijo a la escuela todos los días con una palabra amable, un abrazo y un recordatorio de que es increíble, porque realmente lo es. En Herrera creemos en cada uno de nuestros estudiantes. Vemos su potencial, sus corazones y su brillantez.
¡Terminemos Polar Bear Strong, juntos!
