I hope this message finds you well. I am thrilled to report that our school's prom was a great success last week Our students looked absolutely stunning, and they all behaved impeccably throughout the night. It was a memorable evening for everyone involved, and I am very proud of our students for representing our school so well.

As we move into the final quarter of the school year, I want to remind you of the importance of staying engaged with your child's academic progress

Project R12 Water Walk

Head of School Review

This is a critical time for our students as they prepare for final exams and make important decisions about their future plans. It is essential for them to stay focused on their studies and finish the school year strong. I encourage you to continue to communicate regularly with your child's teachers and to stay informed about their progress and any areas where they may need additional support.

In addition to academics, we have several exciting events planned for the remainder of the school year, including spring sports, Family Science Night, and The Water Walk to raise funds for Project R12 among others. Please attend these events and show your support for our talented students.

Camp information can be found here: https://www.tiptonrosemarkacademy.net/summercamps-2023

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education. Together, we can ensure they have a successful end to the school year. Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing these awesome young people with us!

Upper School Review

BY STEPHANIE WEHRER

The Upper School Science Club hosted Family Science Night in the PAC on Wednesday, April 12th Students from middle school and high school set up various stations to demonstrate science experiments or investigations, to show younger students and their families that science can really be a lot of fun!

Ms. Ann Watson launched Family Science Night a few years ago, following a wonderful professional development series she attended at Arkansas State University. It has become such a hit around the TRA community, and we are so grateful for the time and planning she puts into the Science Club and this special event, each year. An additional thank you to Coach Dean, and growing the student involvement during this event, to include middle school demonstrations as well. Well done, future scientists!

This quarter has been so busy around campus, that we have gotten a little behind on congratulating our students of the month recently For March, our staff selected senior Will Hughes and junior, Alice Sigler as students of the month worthy of commendable recognition. For April, the students chosen by the staff as students of the month are senior Eli Ramsey and freshman Mary Pence. All of these students are exceptional representatives of our school and student body! Congratulations, students!

The middle school Math Club paid another visit to their lower school friends this week, to have a little fun with Math again! I just love seeing those smiles!

Ms. Maddux also carried on the Math fun in her classroom this week while working with probabilities. They introduced this week’s lesson by playing a fun game of Probability Pig!

Lower School Review

BY SUSAN CRANFORD

We are winding down this year and about to head into the home stretch! We are headed into a fast and furious last five weeks. First up on our calendar is the Project R12 Water Walk, which is next Friday, April 21. This will be a fun event which will raise money for the children of Uganda. Details will be sent home soon on times, lunch plans, etc. Thank you so much for supporting this fundraiser and supporting the children of Uganda. Most of all, thank you for teaching your child the importance of helping others in need. Mrs. Amy Henning will also “kiss the cow” on this day as being the winner of the track / cross country team fundraiser We can’t wait!

We will be administering our ERB standardized assessments the week of April 24 Elementary students in grades 1-5 will be taking the CTP (Comprehensive Testing Program). The Comprehensive Testing Program (CTP) is a rigorous assessment for students, covering reading, listening, vocabulary, writing, mathematics, and science. Verbal and quantitative reasoning subtests are part of the CTP beginning in Grade 3. The CTP helps educators assess content specific, curriculum-based performance alongside reasoning ability and conceptual knowledge. More information, including testing times, etc., will be sent home next week. There will be NO LATE START WEDNESDAY, April 26, due to testing
