A Message from the Principal
We are in the 2nd nine weeks grading period. Your child should have come home with their report card this past Monday. If you have not seen it, please ask them about it.
Below you will find information on what your child will be learning in the coming weeks. If you have questions about any of it, please contact your child's teacher.
We have a big event November 22nd - our Code to the Future showcase where students will tell you all about the technology immersion they have been involved in. There will be more information coming so keep your eyes open.
It's cold out there - keep warm!
