Although our school week was only 4 days, it was packed with connecting, learning, and fun! We wrapped up our MAP testing this week. We are so impressed with the effort displayed by all of our students on their reading and math assessments!
Our spotlight for the week is Mrs. VandeBogart. Mrs. VandeBogart is our 5th grade Japanese Dual Language Teacher. We hope you enjoy reading Mrs. VandeBogart’s Highlight!
