Independent Weekly - Week 34

Hello CIS Elementary Families and Community! This is Ms. Cano, the TK-5 program specialist, with some helpful information and updates. This week we will wrap up our CAASPP state testing for all 3rd through 5th graders. Please make sure you have read our information flyer and completed all the task to prepare your students for success!
As we continue in our third and final trimester of school, please make sure your student is attending class and their 1:1 meetings weekly. This will help keep them on track towards finishing this school year strong! If you have any questions, please reach out to your student's teacher.
