Winter MAP testing begins next week in Grades 4, 7, & 8. Other classes will test the following week. A good night of sleep and a healthy breakfast are great ways to help your student prepare to do their best.
Ticket sales for Graceful Evening has begun. Consider getting a group of friends together to fill a table. This event is always a lot of fun, especially when experiencing it with friends. See below for details. If you have an idea for an auction item, please contact our event chairs. Your participation will make this a great fundraiser for our school.
Due to water main work taking place in front of the school on Monday, we have alternate plans for drop-off and pick-up. Check your email for details related to this.
Have a great weekend!
