Weekly Bennett Newsletter
Week of January 20, 2020
Dear Amazing Bennett Families,
We are excited to be back at school and are in the swing of teaching and learning. Our BEARS, are in the process of taking their middle of the year assessments in kindergarten through 5th grade. This is an exciting time for our students and staff to celebrate the growth our students have made since the beginning of the school year. In addition, there is always an area we can continue to improve and work on. Thank you for your continued support of our amazing school!
Proud to be a BEAR,
Amy
