Thanks to staff and parents for your help in preparing your child/children for the state testing (TCAP).  This is a critical check-point for our children.  It helps us as a district to review our curriculum and teaching practices according to the growth our students make in their learning.  We will also be NWEA testing for our end of year benchmark the weeks of May 7th – 17th.  K-3 students will also be given the DIBELS end of year tests.
As springtime is here, there are many additional activities for our students.  The annual 4th – 6th grade noon softball games are underway.  This is a fun and exciting program for these students. Other events on the horizon include:
