Good Morning, Ivy Drive School Community:
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the long Holiday Weekend! It has been another busy and exciting week at Ivy Drive, and we are grateful for your continued support as we head into the end of the month of May and into June.  

Spring Band & Choral Concert:
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our talented 4th and 5th grade band students and our 5th grade chorus for a wonderful performance at this week’s Spring Concert. A special thank you to Mrs. DiVenere, Mrs. Ravita, and Ms. Santiago for their dedication and for providing our students with such a meaningful musical experience. 
We are so proud of our students’ hard work and growth!

State Assessments Update:
SBA and NGSS state assessments have officially wrapped up—great job to all of our students in grades 3–5 for their focus, perseverance, and effort throughout testing! Make-up testing sessions will take place during the upcoming week for any students who were absent.
