Announcements:
Thank you for a wonderful first week of school! I have loved interacting with your scholars each day and I am excited for what the rest of the year will bring.
Please note: This Friday is our first Half Day! This means our live zoom will only be 1 hour long and will be from 9:00-10:00AM instead of at it’s normal time. I will send a Remind text of this on Friday morning!
Required: Use the sign up link below to select a time for your child to take the DIBELS test with their teacher this week or next. We will be administering our benchmark Dibels test via Zoom this quarter. This needs to be a time that both the student and the parent are available. We are looking forward to reading one on one with your children! https://signup.com/go/hnwYjzY
