Student Holidays
Students will be off next Friday, Oct. 6 and the following Monday, Oct. 9. We hope that all of our students get to enjoy their 4 day weekend.
Gym Progress
For those that have been around the back of the school this week, you have probably seen that the steel frame is going up. It's exciting for us to see the structure of the gym start to take place. As of right now, the estimated completion date is still scheduled to be the end of February.
MAP Testing
We have finished up MAP testing in all grade levels (with the exception of some students that were absent and will makeup the test next week). The results of the testing will be shared out by your child's teacher over the next several weeks through parent conferences.
We will take the tests again mid-year and at the end of the year. We always want to focus on growth and this a great way to track student progress.
Story Teller
We were lucky to have Sue Kuentz today as a guest storyteller. She was here to relay stories that relate to the Seven Habits for Happy Kids. All students on campus had the opportunity to hear her present. A big thanks goes to our Librarian, Mrs. Hoff, for setting this presentation up.
