WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS! ❤️
Happy Sunday! 🥳
IMPORTANT ACAP INFORMATION:❗
ACAP will be March 25th-April 3, 2024. Please plan on your child being present and on time these days (no doctor appointments, dentist appointments, etc.).
We will begin preparing for ACAP in class. If you would like to continue practicing at home, please visit the website below.

It is very important that each student has a working pair of headphones as we begin taking practice assessments and for ACAP. These need to be able to plug into the computer (not Bluetooth). It is preferred that students have regular headphones instead of earbuds. I have attached a link below to an affordable pair on Amazon as an example, but feel free to purchase elsewhere if needed.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions!
