A Note from Mrs. Cureton...

We are seeing some amazing growth in our kids during this first week of our middle of the year academic progress assessments! Can't wait to share student growth with all of our families soon! Next week, we will continue assessments for Prek(Circle assessments), K-2 (mClass-reading assessments), & K-5 (iReady-math assessments). 

Parents, please help us to create the best environment for your student to succeed on their assessments by making sure they get a good night's rest and are at school no later than 7:50am each day.

No school Monday, January 20th...enjoy your 3-day weekend! We will see everyone on Tuesday, January 21st.

Make sure to join us this Thursday, January 23rd for Math, Makers, &...Pancakes! See details below!

Please note: we had our 100th day of school date wrong...the 100th day of school is Tuesday, January 28th. We would love for all of our Cougars to celebrate 100 days of learning with us! Wear 100 of something or come dressed as an 100 year old.

Have a great weekend!

-Sarah Cureton, Principal
