School News and Information
Happy Friday! We are pleased to announce that our 3rd and 4th grade state testing is now complete. Our students have worked hard to prepare for these tests, and we are proud of their efforts. We would like to thank our teachers and staff for their dedication and commitment to ensuring that our students are well-prepared for these assessments.
Please note that there will be no school on Tuesday, May 2nd as we will be having a professional development day for our staff.
We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to Jason Reynolds for sponsoring our PTG VIP Breakfast. It was a wonderful event, and we are grateful for his generosity and support.
Finally, we would like to thank Mrs. Ritcher and Mrs. Roy for taking care of our kindergarten registration process. Their hard work and dedication have made the process run smoothly, and we appreciate their efforts in ensuring that our youngest learners are well-prepared for their first year of school.
Thank you for your continued support of our school and our students.
