It’s officially fall, but we’re feeling extra grateful for the stretch of beautiful weather ahead this week!
Our fall benchmark assessments are now complete, and we’re diving into the data to plan differentiated instruction and provide targeted support for each student. This allows us to better understand your child as a learner and meet them right where they are.
As we move into Week 6 of the school year, we’re continuing to strengthen routines and expectations to help students thrive both academically and socially.
