Just some updates on what is happening over the next few weeks:

NWEA testing will start Monday and continue through the 31st of this month. As students finish their tests, they will bring home their scores in their planners. Please keep an eye out for these and make sure planners are being checked daily. Students may also bring home Data Folders to show you growth from the beginning of the school year. Students will be tested in Reading, English Language Arts (grammar, writing skills), and Math

The end of the marking period is on the 17th (next Friday) so report cards will come home the following week. Watch for those and make sure you sign and return the envelope to indicate that you’ve received it!

If you haven’t submitted a background check and you would like to attend any of our Winter/Spring field trips, please make sure you do this in the front office. Bring your photo ID. It takes two weeks to process.
