Week of September 9th

It has been an awesome first two weeks of school getting to know your children and them getting to know me. We are in full swing of the school year and we have begun taking NWEA. This week we will focus on the last two NWEA tests, Language Usage and Science. Please remember to sign your son or daughter’s planner every night.
