Happy Monday Parents and Guardians,
First of all, we have some exciting news! Mrs. Zook had a little baby girl on Saturday morning! Ada June and and family are all doing well. I've attached a picture of the baby if you'd like to take a look! Miss Marijke Kunnen will be working with our team for the remainder of the year.
Also, please note that the second portion of ISTEP begins next week. This is the multiple choice portion of the test. We will be doing a practice test on Monday, Math on Tuesday, Language Arts on Wednesday, and Science on Thursday. Please help your student get plenty of sleep and eat a warm breakfast in the morning.
