All school field trip to Lake Park - September 16th
"The play is a dramatization of several classic children’s books by the iconic Beverly Cleary. It
features Ramona, a spunky 3rd grader, and her older sister, Beezus and the everyday adventures
of their family and neighbors. The show makes great discussion material with your students as it addresses the themes of identity, bullying, parental job loss, smoking and growing up."
iready assessments
The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your student’s needs. Each item a student sees is individualized based on their answer to the previous question. For example, a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier questions.
