Please encourage your child to continue to read for Books and Beyond, and to go onto Reflex Math three times a week until they hit the green light. We are seeing real success with students as they increase their fluency in multiplication and division! Thank you again for all of your help at home!

Time For Kids

Students are bringing home a "Time for Kids" booklet today. Please encourage your child and help them to write down the names and addresses of seven people (relatives, friends, neighbors), and return it to school for a prize. No money is needed!
