Welcome

Notable News: 

One of our very own students, Emily Hicks, competed in the Helen Ruffin 
Reading Bowl this past weekend. Great Job Emily! 

We were pleased that we were able to meet with each of you to discuss your 
child's progress during conference week.  Thank you for taking time out of 
your busy schedules.  

Please encourage your child to visit the IXL website.  Acticities on this 
site are aligned with the standards being taught in class.  You will find 
their username and passwords inside their agendas.  It is a great way to 
improve their math skills and help prepare them for the CRCT!
