Spring is definitely here! Be sure to check book bags and watch your email as this time of year flies by. There are many activities coming up at all levels. Continue to check PowerSchool grades. It is easy for students to fall behind with the increase of spring activities after school hours. 3rd - 8th graders have been completing State Assessments. The assessments will wrap up April 24th. Here is our link to our building's Board report.
