The 5th grade class was awarded a grant from Reflex. Reflex is an online math facts fluency program. 5th grader students will begin the Reflex grant today and have access to it for one calendar year. Students will have access over the summer months and into 6th grade. Parents can watch their progress too! Informational letters will go home at Parent/Teacher conferences.

Please help us keep our STUDENTS SAFE during drop-off and pick-up times by SLOWING DOWN and following the drop-off and pick-up procedures. Students should use the crosswalks - please do not drop-off students or pick them up from the middle of the road. Thank you!
The 5th and 6th grade students are creating I AM banners. Students were asked to choose one positive word that truthfully describes them. No two students were allowed to use the same word. The banners will be hung in the upstairs hallway to help promote positive mental health. Can you guess which word describes your child?
