May 5-9

Our 6th graders made us proud on the FSA ELA and Math assessments this week. We saw tremendous growth and some outstanding results. The bar has been set for 7th and 8th grade in the weeks to come.

We have received requests from parents about what to get a teacher for Teacher Appreciation Week. Thanks to PTO, we have a one stop location for Teacher favorites. Access the link below to view your child’s teachers:
