Reminder: Our instructional day begins at 7:40 AM, so please plan to arrive on time and ready to start strong!
We can’t wait to kick off the new semester together! See you soon!
Our 7th and 8th grade chorus spent today caroling for our teachers, filling the day with festive music and seasonal spirit. Students also shared handwritten thank-you notes to show their appreciation.
Great job, everyone! And thank you to Mr. Chesnutt for making it all happen. 💜🐯
We’re ending the semester with school spirit and good energy before Winter Break!
Our i-Ready testing schedule will be:
- Reading: December 1–5 in ELA Classrooms
- Math: December 8–12 in Math Classrooms
You can help your student by:
- Making sure they get a good night’s rest before taking the Diagnostic.
- Talking with them about why the second Diagnostic matters.
- Letting them know you’re excited to celebrate their progress.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting their learning.
