We have many exciting things coming up in the month of March. Benchmark testing for grades 3-8 is currently being completed, with Thursday being math benchmark.

Teachers will also work with students to set goals between now and April. Students will also be recognized for leveling up from BM 2 to BM 3. We are looking forward to celebrating the achievement of our students! .....
