Mrs. Gartha's 5th Grade Blog

Did you know that this is the last week of summer? I can’t wait for the cooler weather!

NWEA testing will continue on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Wednesday is a Late Start. School begins at 9:35 a.m.

We no longer have MyOn available to the kids but we do have a new site with books to read and stories to listen to.  Your child may now log into Epic at www.getepic.com/app/ and use the class code brb8401.  This site will only work with computers.  Be sure to check it out!
