Family Talk
The final FastBridge Assessment window for the 2023-2024 school year will run from April 15 to May 10. Encourage your child to give their best effort and show what they’ve learned this year in reading and math!
As we prepare for the end of the year, I would love your help! Our May Family Talk will highlight some ways you can think about and plan for summer and I want to know exactly what you want to know. Please complete this Google Form to answer a couple of quick questions and leave feedback about what would be helpful to your family. Thank you in advance for taking the time to do this!
