Courage C.6 IS able to find solutions during conflict with others
Principal's Message
Happy Tuesday Families,
Welcome back! We are overjoyed to be back into the building. Our scholars entered the building with smiles on their faces and memories to share with each other. We have made it to the fourth quarter. In less than 9 weeks scholars will be off for summer vacation. Although summer break is fast approaching, there is lots of learning that needs to be done.
This week our 4th and 8th grade scholars will finish Forward Testing in Science and Social Studies. We will also focus on scholars that need to finish or start their Forward Test. In just a few weeks our K5 through 8th grade scholars will take the MAP Assessment. The MAP Assessment measures the academic progress of scholars for the school year. We are almost at the finish line and as always we are going to continue to make our good better and our better BEST!
Love you all,
Mrs. Williams
