AIS Weekly #16

Each week students from different homerooms will be selected as the student of the week based on quality character, behavior, attendance, and work ethic.

Congratulations to our Students of the Week from Ms. Burgess's Homeroom!

This week will be taking the iReady Winter Diagnostic. This will show the progress your child is making in reading and math so far this school year. Please encourage your child to do his or her very best and be at school on time each day.

Students who show growth or score on grade level will get to participate in our iReady Growth Celebration on Thursday, December 19.

Our next School Bank day will be Thursday, December 19!
