Family Math Night

Join us on Wednesday, Feb. 1st from 5:00-6:30 p.m. to learn some new math games to play with your children. We will have a light snack, fun activities and raffle prizes! Be sure to stop by West Godwin for some fun!

Testing

During the month of January, students will be taking our MAP and Acadience tests with their class. This is one tool we use to measure how much your child is learning over the course of the school year. Please talk with your child about this test and encourage them to do their very best. Also, be sure they are getting their proper rest, especially the night before their class tests! Feel free to reach out to your child's teacher or the main office to find out which days your child's class will be testing.
