CELEBRATING YOU NEXT WEEK!  As we move into the busy spring weeks, know how grateful we are for ALL you do each and every day.  Our school is served by THE most dedicated professionals, working tirelessly - together - to provide the very best instruction for our students, to love each child, and create the most magical elementary school years for our Stingers.  While we appreciate you every day, next week will be filled with some extra special treats.

With 3 weeks until Spring MAP, continue to maximize your instructional time.  Small group instruction in Reading & Math should occur EVERY DAY!  If you need planning support as you continue to cover your grade level standards, or provide extension, reach out to Katy.
