Meet with Principal Amy MacDonald and Enatai PTSA at the monthly Principal and PTSA Coffee Hour.
Topic: Smarter Balanced testing
When: Thursday, April 18th at 8:00-9:00am
Where: Enatai STEM Room
At this principal coffee, we will learn about state testing and answer the questions of why we test students, what is covered in the tests, and what resources are available to parents and students to help their testing. State tests are conducted in Grades 3-8 and in High School. We will also discuss what scores mean for elementary, middle school, and high school students and what impact they have on their education.

Attention Parents of Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade, and Third!
Multicultural Week and the International Taste of Enatai are chaired by PTSA members, Rae Okamoto (me), Kathy Green, and Thuy Wolf. Both Kathy and myself are 4th Grade parents and will be moving on after next year. Thuy has a 3rd grade student and will only be here two more years. Who will take over after we leave?
This beloved event requires a team to run it and next year would be the optimum time for interested parents to join us and learn how the event is run while we are still here to show you. If you love Multicultural Week and its Family Night, please contact us to join the team for next year! Bring your friends! Email: multicultural@enataiptsa.org
