Bresnahan Kindness Food Drive
As you all know our three clipper values are to Be Safe, Be Kind, and Be Responsible. Next week, we will be participating in a focus week highlighting many of the ways we can be kind. We are so excited to announce that we will also be hosting a Food Drive here at the Bresnahan to benefit our local communities! At our Kindness assembly on Friday the 9th we will be announcing how many items we collected as a school, showing just how much Kindness counts!
Thank you in advance for participating in this food drive however you are able to and please know that no donation is too small!

Mid Year Data
Students recently completed the midyear diagnostic assessment. This is one data point teachers use to better understand students' areas of strength and weakness. Teachers also gather data through lesson and unit assessments to measure student skills. All this data helps teachers plan the best instruction for the classroom of students. Your student's iReady data will be sent home soon. When reviewing the data be aware that not all domains of math have been taught yet. We are excited to see the students continue to grow in the next half of the year.
