iReady March Madness
This month Byam will be holding a iReady March Madness challenge. We are challenging our students to meet their weekly minutes on the program in both reading and math while we hold a friendly competition among our grade levels. We'll be tracking our progress on our March Madness bulletin board.
Evening Presentation on Anxiety "The Power of Yet"
Do you find yourself wondering if your child's worries are a typical part of child development or maybe something more? Are you unsure of how to manage or respond to these worries. Join us for this interactive presentation with our clinical psychologist, Dr. Jacki Reinert titled "The Power of Yet" on March 19 at 6:30. We will be sending out an invitation next week that will include an RSVP as we are planning to have childcare during the event. We hope you will consider joining us for the Byam School Council sponsored event.
