Our Kindergarten students started the year off working hard in writing! Students wrote sentences about their favorite part of the story "The Snowy Day!"

A reminder that some of our students will be taking the ACCESS Test over the next few weeks. For students who are testing, please make sure they are at school on time each morning so that it does not disrupt their testing schedule. Thank you for your cooperation!
