4th Grade News

This week students took their MAP Reading Test. Next week, we will continue with the Math MAP testing. Make sure your child comes these days, well rested, with a full belly and their ANS Sweaters.

During these first weeks of school we have been observing our students leading their own learning through agency in each of their assignments and tasks! Way to go Tigers!
