Hello everyone! Thank you for your understanding and for all of the well wishes from the days I was gone last week. We have about a week and a half until the end of the second report card marking. Both grades will be finishing their current math units with their unit assessment near the end of this week or early next week. The 4th will also have a social studies assessment next week. Please make sure the students have a good breakfast and get a good night’s rest each night for the next two weeks as we are taking their mid-year official NWEA tests.
