Updates For This Week:

PLEASE look on Skyward for assignment & test scores and submit any missing work (NHI). I am missing a high number of Weekly Reading Logs, Vocabulary, and Opinion and Journal Writing assignments. I have left the last couple of weeks up on this site so you can go back and submit any missing assignments. Please send me an email if your child submits any assignment or test for past weeks, so I know to check for it and enter it in Skyward.
