IREAD
IREAD Testing will begin March 23rd-27th for 3rd grade students. Students should get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast and come to school on time. IREAD was created to ensure that all students can read proficiently at the end of grade three. Parents are asked to NOT schedule doctor appointments next week. Attendance is very important!
Our 3rd graders made 171 blankets for local cancer and dialysis patients
