Testing Locations

As we near the end of the school year, teachers and staff begin planning for the new school year in the fall. With that in mind we have provided the form below.
Please complete the "non-return" form if one or more of your students will not be attending Walnut Acres in the fall. This is critical information for us as it affects enrollment, number of classes in grade levels, etc. It is also important for your students' school records to be sent to their new school. This form will remain open through the summer.
