We have had an exciting week learning about the history of plant life as well as exploring the DNA of various fruits.  Our budding scientists are excited to plant and further their DNA investigations at home.

County Summer Learning Information

If you are interested in having your child participate in summer programs please click on the link above.

i-ready is currently required for students to use 2-3 times per week.  While children are in the school building we are focusing on lessons and using manipulatives while still encouraging students to use i-ready at least once while they are in the building.  Please use virtual learning days to encourage your child to work on math and language at least one time per week.

GMAS information for third graders will be relayed as soon as we have confirmed our plan.
