Today Mrs. West’s 7th grade English class did a goal setting lesson in preparation for the Reading NWEA test that starts Monday for all of our middle school students. Students reviewed their past NWEA Reading scores and set goals for this school year. Great job Mrs. West and 7th graders!





Families, please take a moment to read the attached letter from Principal Huntoon regarding upcoming testing. The letter includes important details about testing dates, preparation tips, and how you can support your student during this time.
We appreciate your partnership in helping our students do their very best! 🧡🖤
