It is Mid-Term!

Now is a great time to check on your grades and completed work that has been turned in.  Students attend school to learn and prepare for their futures.  The steps to that learning and being prepared for the future begin in each classroom. Also check with your student to see if they need school supplies to be replaced, like pens, pencils, or notebooks. Your support helps them learn everyday!
