We will be in touch with parent/guardians regarding retakes for students who do not pass their SOL and receive a score between 375 and 399. When possible, all tests will be given in the morning.

Nottingham Shakespeare Festival
The Nottingham Shakespeare Festival was once again a resounding success. Our 5th grade Knights gave flawless performances in two of the bard’s classic romantic comedies, The Merry Wives of Windsor and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, much to the delight of the packed house. Our talented actors skillfully rendered the interwoven plotlines in each story and kept the audience in stitches, particularly one 5th grade parent who shall remain nameless. The action however, was as much physical as it was verbal, with several characters involved in raucous tussles on stage ably demonstrating the actors ability to handle slapstick humor as well and making it vividly clear that love does indeed hurt.
