THE BHAM BUZZ
Here comes IREAD testing!!
Next week will begin our IREAD testing for our 2nd grade students. We are excited to see how much they have grown in their reading comprehension. The following week we will be watching our 3rd graders show their reading strengths! If your child(ren) are in these two grades, please help them by allowing them plenty of time to get some good rest the nights before the testing sessions. We know that they will do their very best!
Next week is our Read Across America spirit week. Please reach out to your classroom teachers to see the details for those classes that are participating.
Finally, we are excited to be showcased as the school of the week for Decatur Township next week. Please check the Decatur Township social media outlets for daily stories on the great things occurring here at Valley Mills!
