NWEA Testing
Grades 3-8 will be participating in testing starting this week.
-Grades 5-8 will take care of this on Tuesday. Please be sure your students’ chromebook is charged and ready to go for this. They should also have their charging cord along on Tuesday to use if their chromebook is dead or in the process of dying due to use that day.

SCRIP News:
There are $25, $50 and $100 Walmart gift cards that are unfortunately non-reloadable because they have sat in the inventory too long. Come to the office to purchase and help SCRIP deplete the inventory so new reloadable cards can be on hand.
