KPREP Testing

Dear Parents/Guardians, 

During the week of May 6-10, our students at West Middle School will be working hard on their KPREP tests.  They will be spending long periods of time in testing groups throughout the week.  We are asking for your help to give our kids an extra boost of energy throughout the day by sending in snacks.  If you would like to help us out, you may send in something with your student and they can turn it in to their team leaders.   A list is provided below.  Thanks so much for your continued support.

Sincerely,

West Middle School Team Leaders

Mrs. Hall/Mr. Stone – 7^th Grade                     Mrs. Chesterfield/Mr. Carter – 6^th Grade
