DON'T FORGET CURRICULUM NIGHT WEDNESDAY AT 6:00!!  This will be a time to discuss your child's curriculum and expectations for the year.

-The children have really begun to “get into the groove”! I’m so proud of them!

-Several children have attempted AR tests already. That’s amazing! Please remind them that the important thing is to do their best on the test, not see how many tests they can take or how many points they can get. Thanks!
