Dear Parents/Guardians,
We wanted to inform you that our students will be participating in state testing. These assessments are an important opportunity for students to demonstrate their learning and help us identify areas for growth and improvement.
Test Dates:
Wednesday, March 5 & Thursday, March 6
Tuesday, March 11 through Thursday, March 13
To ensure your child is prepared, please help by:
• Ensuring they get a good night’s sleep before testing days.
• Eat a healthy breakfast. (All Students always have the opportunity to eat a free breakfast each day at Allendale School.)
• Arriving at school on time.
• Encouraging them to do their best and stay positive.
Thank you for your support in helping our students succeed.


Good Luck tonight Lady Aces from the Allendale Yellow Jackets! We're rooting for a WIN!

Mark your calendars for Taco Night on Monday, March 10th to support the Lady Rockets Volleyball team. The Lady Rockets will take on the Mt Carmel Aces at Allendale School starting at 5:15 PM. Homemade tacos and homemade baked goods will be available to help raise money for new equipment for the team. Come out and show your support for the team!


The Allendale School Library now has a Family Fun Center that is available to all students. The Family Fun Center has games, books, DVDs, and crafts. The students are able to sign these items out and then keep them for up to a week and then bring them back and check out other items. The crafts would be something that they are able to just keep once they sign them out.
