A Note From the Front Office:
If parents need to drop off a binder, backpack, or book after the start of the day, materials will be held in the office for students to pick up during recess.

Curriculum Flash!
Accelerated Reader This Week!
Students will be taking their AR reading test this week which allows them to pick books at their appropriate level. They will use this number, the ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development), to make sure that books are not too difficult for them. These book levels can be found by visiting www.arbookfind.com.

Blogging
Due to the short week, there is no official blogging this week.

Thank you to the parent volunteers who’ve volunteered to help with our Kachina Doll project this week in social studies!
