Updates
One more week of CAASPP testing. Firth grade students will be finishing up their Science testing Monday through Wednesday. The past two weeks, our 3rd-6th grade students have been working so diligently. They used scratched paper, took notes, and made sure to take their time. Thank you Parents for getting your students to school on time.
We will have in-person end of the year awards. We encourage all of our Crusaders to give their best effort this trimester, so they can be eligible for citizenship and academic awards. The awards criteria was sent home via Remind and Parent Square a few weeks ago.
Parents Please Save the date for May 25 at 9:00am. The 5th and 6th grade band will be performing for parents in the cafeteria. Fourth grade will also be playing a few songs on their recorders that morning.
Thank You,
Mrs. Bekedam
Learning Director
