CAT TESTING
California Achievement Testing (CAT) will begin this week. All second, fourth, fifth and sixth graders will take this standardized test. We will have a kick-off to remind and encourage students to do their best on Monday, March 17 at 10:00 AM. You can best help by making sure that your student is here on time each and every day. Students will continue to take the test until completion or April 3, 2008.
EXCELS
Take a moment to stop in and tour the hallways to see the exciting purposeful writing and learning that is taking place. Every day we are moving right along in helping our students to reach their grade level standards and beyond. Our Pre-kindergartners are learning letter sounds and shapes. Our kindergartners are writing fourth graders are writing poetry. Our Fifth graders are working hard on multiplying fractions.
Our sixth graders are learning about current events and how the current events effect them.
