Conference Week- Thank you everyone for making conference week a success. I enjoyed sharing your student’s success with you.

Fast Math computer site- We are working on getting Fast math to the multiplication level. I will let you know when it is up and running. It is good to practice the addition facts while we wait on the update.

A.R.- Students have a weekly goal of passing at least one test. If a student does not meet this goal, they will stay in during Friday recess and read. Thank you for your support!

 Friday is our Veterans Day celebration. Students are welcome to wear red, white, or blue and bring a small flag to wave.
