Buses may be running late this afternoon due to the weather. Thank you for your patience.
Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students did an outstanding job last night. Thank You for all who came out.



Mrs. Silva's class is working hard in small reading groups on their journal writing, roll and read activity, story writing using beginning, middle, end, problem & solution and finding words with specific spelling patterns learned in Fundations.




Mrs. Kirby’s class is hard at work preparing to write stories using a story map to organize their thoughts. They are focusing on the characters, setting, beginning, middle, and end of stories.
