Message from the Principal | |

Zion Family,
Wow! I can’t believe that we’ve been in school for a whole month now! The school year has gotten off to a great start and things are in full swing. Students have been working hard on NWEA testing this week using the iPads, MacBooks in our lower-grade computer lab, and Chromebooks in our upper-grade computer lab. We’ll conclude the week with Lego Star Wars Night this Friday. Hope to see you there!

NWEA TESTING
Wednesday, September 7 - Friday, September 16, 2022
NWEA Testing provides many different reports to help schools and
teachers use MAP Growth information. Teachers can see the progress of
individual students and of their classes as a whole. This data is often
used to help students set goals and understand what they need to learn
to achieve their goals. NWEA assessments are designed to target a
student's academic performance in mathematics, reading, and language
usage.
Be sure your student gets plenty of sleep and eats a good breakfast
before they arrive at school so they can do their best.
