McKissick Academy of Science and Technology - 5.3.24
May 3, 2024
Friday is here again! This week has flown by because we were so busy! We started our SC Ready testing this week and the students worked so hard. I was so proud of them! Attendance in all three grade levels was also great so thank you for your help with this! We are all finished with our make ups from this week and will start fresh next week! Let's continue to have the same work ethic with attendance and perseverance! Next week is another full week with our last two tests- for 3rd-5th grades: SC Ready ELA 2-Reading (Tuesday 5/7) and SC Ready Math (Thursday 5/9). See below for after testing and all the events we have planned for our Sharks to celebrate an "jawsome" year!!
Committed to Success,
