005I testing but every day um students will be competing against other grade levels so this the month of March we having our own attendance March Madness so we got the brackets on on the wall I did that I'm working on it but we'll start adding the um grades to the brackets this week and students with the best well grade with the best attendance will receive an incentive at the end of each week we're asking that parents check parents Square um because we're hoping that parents write your child an encouraging note and drop it off in the main office to motivate students during I Tes and parents can also email the note to the teachers and then we'll secretly give the note to the students while they're testing just so um we can uplift them and
