We'll have our English session on May 16 from 7:15-8:30 and our Spanish session on the same day from 1:15-2:30 in the OSSI Room. Looking ahead, we want to share some information about 5th-grade Promotion Ceremony. Students will wear the 6th-grade blue-and-white school uniform to symbolize the transition to middle school.
