We all worked really hard on the CRCT and Mrs. Kelly and I are very proud of the students!!!!  We will NOT be switching for math anymore so the students will be in here with us for the rest of the year for math as well as Science and S/S.  A HUGE thanks to all who sent in food/drinks during the CRCT!!!! 

4/12-4/20

We will begin the CRCT on Wednesday.  Please check your email for the testing snack letter that I sent today.  After each testing session we will have recess, snack, specials and lunch.  With the remaining of the time left in the school day we will review subjects that have yet to be tested.  Please make sure students arrive on time during testing so they can get all materials checked out to them!!  I know they will all do GREAT.  The students did receive a Social Studies final packet that is due Friday.  This is to be done at home to help them study!!!  Please let us know if you have any questions.
