A note from Mrs. Cureton:

We are gearing up for district benchmark testing days this upcoming week. Tuesday--Thursday, our 3rd-5th graders will take Math, Reading, and Science(5th grade only). Please help your students do their best on the test by making sure they get to bed early and to school on time each day. Our school day starts at 7:50am each day. 

Our district AVID application window is now open to all 5th grade students. If you would like more information about this program or an application, please see the flyer below. 

We will not have school November 21st-25th due to Thanksgiving Break. We hope you enjoy the holiday with your family!
