📊 iReady Testing Begins This Week
Families can support students by:

Making sure your child arrives to school on time
Talking with your child about their academic goals and encouraging them to do their very best.

The week will culminate with a Field Day on Friday for Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, and 4th grade students. During art and music classes this week, we are excited to welcome community partners from Coastal Connections and the Audubon Society, who will be presenting integrated science lessons to our students.
