Welcome to Week 4!

This will be a short week, but we have a lot to accomplish! Our gifted education classes with Mrs. Gagliano start on Tuesday.

The first iReady diagnostic assessment window closes on Friday. We will share our beginning of the school year data at the School Advisory Committee Meeting on Thursday, September 10. We will be also reviewing our School Improvement Plan for 2020-21.

Everyone is invited to attend this virtual Zoom meeting via https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85684988921?pwd=OHhwQkZwbjYvQjh6M29UM0xDU2Y0dz09
