Our annual Halloween school dance will be Friday, October 26th at 5:00 in the cafeteria. You are allowed to wear your costume to the dance as long as it follows the guidelines that were sent home last week.

On Halloween, Wednesday, October 31, students may either wear an approved costume to school, a Hoover activity or college shirt, or their school uniform. This is NOT a free dress day.

I just finished grading the students' writing performance assessments for first quarter. I am blown away by the wonderful writing displayed by these students. We have been writing an essay every week since the first week of school and the practice is definitely paying off! Ask your child how they did on their writing test!

It's that time of the year again...CST TIME! We will be taking the CSTs the last week of April and the first week of May. A lot of practice for this very important test will be taking place in ELA until the actual test is here. Students are receiving tons of assistance as we prepare for the CSTs. We are doing sample problems from CST released questions, practice tests every week, and many other activities to help ensure your child will be ready when the real CST happens. Good luck to you all....
