Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we enter the spring semester, I am sharing important information about our upcoming state and district testing schedule. These assessments help measure student progress, improve instruction, and support every student at Betsy Ross Arts and Design Academy.
Testing Details:
- Tests: Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) and district progress monitoring.
- Schedule: From May 4th with 8th-grade Science, then all grades in Math and Reading over three weeks.
- Purpose: Provide a "snapshot" of student learning aligned with state standards.
How to Help Your Child:
- Ensure they get enough rest.
- Provide a nutritious breakfast.
- Make sure they arrive on time.
- Encourage a positive attitude.
Thank you for supporting your child’s education. We are proud of our students' efforts and look forward to their success.
Best regards,
Jameka Sayles

Good afternoon, everyone! I'm Theo, the Chairperson for the Community Service Committee of the National Junior Honor Society, here to announce our school food drive!
For this year's food drive, we’ll be accepting canned food and non-perishable items! We're not accepting clothes or food with nuts.
Prizes will be awarded to the class that collects the most items during their B-Day 5th Period class. You don’t have to wait until your B-Day to bring them; you can bring items every day this week.
This event will take place from April 20th to April 24th. We may even extend this into next week!

Hello BRADA Families: A reminder from the Nurse's Office: Next year, all current 6th and 9th graders must have an updated physical on file before the start of school. Make those appointments now so that students are not excluded from school!
Also, it is allergy season! Please note: the nurse does not administer allergy medication. If your child requires allergy meds, please administer them at home.
Parents,
Please mark your calendars and come ready to receive some free groceries! Check out the flyer for more information!!!
