Thank you.





FAMILIES OF 4TH GRADERS
On Friday, February 22nd, 4th grade will take the NAEP assessment. The links below will take you to letters that explain the expectations for that measurement. 
   


What is NAEP?
It is a Common Measure of Student Achievement

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the only assessment that measures what U.S. students know and can do in various subjects across the nation, 
states, and in some urban districts. Also known as The Nation’s Report Card, NAEP has provided important information about how students are performing academically since 1969.

SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY
One of our former long-time staff members recently experienced a health event. Our staff are stepping up to offer support as they do multiple times each year for many different people. This time teachers are bidding against each other to purchase baked goods that various staff members have made. The money collected will go to that special staff member on our minds. It is occasions like this that remind us that our lives and health can be fragile. It is a wonderful feeling to know that colleagues support each other in tough times.  Such support has often extended beyond staff to the greater school community.
