Report cards for Quarter 2 were sent home last week. Please be sure to log-in to your child’s Powerschool account for updates on grades and assignments entered throughout Quarter 3. Please encourage your child to read 20 minutes every night. Reading aloud to your child is also very beneficial as it helps your student develop vocabulary. Talk about the words they have never heard. They all know the more they read the better reader they will become but also hearing great books helps them develop as a reader.
There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, January 16 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
