Hello Darden Learning Community,
It's hard to believe that we only have 5 weeks of school left this year. We will continue to provide rich learning experiences in a safe manner!
Currently our 3rd- 5th graders are taking the Indiana State Assessments, ILEARN. The results of these tests will be released this summer. We are testing all eLearners on Wednesdays. The students results of this test will provide Darden with an accountability report card.
Yours in Education,
Patty Karban
