NWEA

This week we will be taking our NWEA test for reading and math. We will be testing for short blocks of time in the morning and afternoon this week. Students have plenty of time to finish so they will not get too overwhelmed. Thank you for having your child here on time in the mornings during this week!


Snacks/Water Bottles

Just a reminder...please send a healthy snack for your child each day, as well as a water bottle that can be refilled throughout the day. Thank you!


Description of our First Reading Module

All of our elementary schools are piloting a new English Language Arts curriculum this year called EL Education.  We will be starting the first module/units of this program this week.  The first module uses literature and informational text to introduce students to the power of literacy and how people around the world overcome learning challenges. It is intentionally designed to encourage students to embrace a love of literacy and reading. We are excited to get started with this new program.
