P.S. 242- The Young Diplomats Magnet Academy

Welcome back from spring break.  I hope everyone had a chance to rest and relax just a little while enjoying some family time together.  Spring is here and excitement is in the air as we continue to have a wonderful year of learning here at Young Diplomats Magnet
Academy! As always, we greatly appreciate the combined efforts of all, as we support our students in successfully meeting the highest of standards set before them.

The month of April marks the beginning of state testing.  We will begin administering the ELA state test to our 3rd- 5th grade students beginning Monday, April 19th through Thursday, April 29th.  The standardized tests will only be administered in the school
building. Students who are fully remote will not be mandated to come into the building forthe exam.  We will provide more information once we receive further guidance regarding
state tests.

There are many more events scheduled for the upcoming months such as our virtual weekly Coffee/ Tea Breaks with Mrs. D and Mr. Morgan, monthly Town Halls, monthly celebrations, award assemblies, Talent Show, and Fifth Grade Exhibition. We will continue
to involve your child in rich learning experiences.
