Help us meet out annual fundraising goal!

We are thrilled to partner with “STEP IT UP” for our school’s fundraiser!

Tomorrow is GOLDEN TICKET DAY!

Why are we doing this fundraiser? While our basics are covered, we need to pay for the EXTRA THINGS that help your student have an amazing experience at our school. We are asking YOU to help us close that funding gap by taking action! Click HERE to get started!

Curious about your scholar's iReady diagnostic score?

The primary function of the i-Ready Diagnostic assessments are to make instructional recommendations and placement decisions for students performing at different levels from Grades K–12. One important way this is done is through the Diagnostic’s grade-level placements.

Canvas Pairing. Watch this 3 minute video

An excellent next step as we prepare for 9 week progress reports and Parent Conferences is to use this short video HERE to pair Parent Canvas to your scholar's Canvas account. This is a terrific way to partner with us in learning and be a support to your scholar.
