Hello families! I hope you all enjoyed these past two weeks! Here's a look at what we're up to this upcoming week and other information about what's happening at school.

Overview of our upcoming week:

• Winter NWEA: We will be taking our 2nd round of NWEA during this week. We will begin on Tuesday morning and testing throughout the week.
