A Note from Mrs. Cureton...

Wowzers!! We have had the best week celebrating some AMAZING growth on campus this week! Currently, we are 61% (reading) & 69% (math) of our way towards our goal of 100% of our students achieving their typical growth in Reading & Math iReady by the end of the year. Thank you, families, for supporting your students in their learning at school this year. We appreciate & are grateful for the partnership with families in being our best for our kids! All student growth reports should be sent home with students no later than Tuesday, February 4th. Please contact me if you have not received your students growth report by Tuesday.
