New Reading Program (Core Knowledge Language Arts - CKLA)
We have a new reading program this year called CKLA (Core Knowledge Language Arts). This new program is rigorous and your children will be learning a lot of new information and be exposed to a new style of learning. It will challenge our students, but we are looking forward to amazing growth in language arts this year. If you'd like to learn more about the program CLICK HERE.
