📚✨ Literacy Nights are coming up! ✨

All sessions will be held in the gym and will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. Parents/guardians may park in the front parking lot or the gym parking lot.

Literacy is the foundation for success in every subject area. We encourage you to join us to learn more about literacy, the skills our Achievers are learning at school, and simple ways you can support and strengthen their reading skills at home.

Together, we can grow strong, confident readers! 📚🐾 We look forward to seeing you!

Hello Parents/Guardians!

Our achievers will begin their STAR Assessments tomorrow with Reading, followed by Math on Friday.

A diagnostic assessment helps teachers see what students already know, identify their strengths, and determine areas where they may need additional support. These results help teachers plan instruction that meets each achiever’s needs.

Please encourage your child to take their time, do their best, and take the assessment seriously. We appreciate your continued support! 🖤🐶🐾
