Greetings Bulls,
Next week our students will participate in iReady Reading and Math exams. On Monday morning we will take the math portion and on Wednesday we will take reading. Please be mindful that students that check in late will wait in the library until testing is complete and students will not checkout during testing. I anticipate testing to last from 8:15-11:00 both days. We are almost done with our required testing - thank you for your continued support and patience.
Go Bulls!
