Dear Families,
As of today, almost all of our third and fourth graders have completed their MCAS tests for English language arts for the 2022-2023 school year! Congratulations to our students and teachers for accomplishing this enormous task with confidence. We are incredibly proud of each and every individual's efforts! To those who celebrate Passover or Easter, we hope you enjoy the long weekend with family, friends, and fun.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kristine Kefor, Principal
