Per BPS Guidelines, if your child is not feeling well, please keep them home. Masks are optional but recommended to help prevent the spread of germs. We are continuing our efforts to social distance when possible and deep clean all learning environments.

i-Ready Diagnostic #1 is Here!

This week, students in grades 1-6 will take their first Diagnostic via i-Ready to give a baseline to their capabilities in Reading and Math. This assessment will provide rich and helpful data to our school to best serve your children. Please encourage them to do their VERY best so they are placed in learning groups appropriately and receive the support and/or enrichment tailored specifically to their needs.


Families will receive student scores with their upcoming Interim Reports.

In the Media Center, Kindergarteners played fun games to learn hand-eye coordination and how to use a computer mouse. Secondary students are practicing self-checkout in the Media Center this month. They love this new independence and responsibility, and have extra motivation to check out books each week.
