College & Career Day - January 15th
Stem Fair
Mark you calendars! Our annual STEM Fair is scheduled for Tuesday, February 18th, from 6-7pm. Student and Classroom science and engineering projects will be on display, and there will be activities for the whole family to enjoy! Only 4th and 5th grade students are required to do a project (display boards will be provided), however, all students are welcome and encouraged to complete a project - alone or with a group of friends. If your child is interested, please ask his/her teacher for the informational packet.
Diagnostic Testing Begins Soon!
Students will be taking the second i-Ready Diagnostic assessment in the areas of Math and Reading. This is an opportunity for us to see how much they have learned over the first half of the school year, and help us identify areas in which the students need more support.
