Well, we survived the first week back.  Our week consisted of ERB testing, reviewing classroom procedures, organizing supplies, creating classroom rules, and getting to know each other.  It was a busy week.

This week (9/4) we will continue assessing students in reading, writing, and math.  Please make sure your child gets plenty of sleep and eats breakfast.
