I have some very important news from Mr. Shea. Please click on the picture to find out.

The Parent Satisfaction Survey opens today, April 30 and closes Friday, May 18. Studer Education is administering the parent survey and analyzing the data. Parents, please complete the short survey (about 10 minutes) using the link below (online survey is available in both English and Spanish). The survey is anonymous and the feedback will help us better support students and achieve excellence across the district.

We are so excited to announce that fourth graders, Rieley Cottrell and Jacob Hoch were regional winners in The South Carolina Academy of Science's Regional Science Fair. This award is open to all students grades 4-8 in South Carolina.
PASS Testing is May 8th-ELA, May 9th-Math, May 10th-Science for grade 4 and Sci. OR Soc. Stud. for grades 3 & 5. May 10th is Soc. Stud. for grade 4 only.
Students, get 8-11 hours of sleep, eat a good breakfast, get here on time (8:00) and wear comfortable clothes with a jacket/sweater. It is not a timed test. Make sure you take your time and check over your work.
We have received an "Excellent" rating on the State of South Carolina Education Accountability Act Report Card. Congratulations! Click here to see St. Andrew's report card.

From PTA and SIC:
In an effort to understand how you as parents feel about St. Andrew's Math and Science and the directions in which we are headed, the PTA and SIC have a survey with a few very brief questions for parents to answer. The survey will literally take less than 2 or 3 minutes, but will greatly enhance the PTA and SIC's ability to move forward on initiatives based on the results of the survey. Please click on SASMS Survey Monkey to go to the survey and answer the questions. Thank you for your help with this.
