CAASPP Testing Next Week
Next week, our 3rd-8th grade students will continue with CAASPP testing. These assessments help us better understand how your child is progressing, including where they may need extra support, as well as help us with renewing our Charter. We kindly ask for your help in making sure your child gets a good night’s rest and comes to school ready to do their best. Encouraging a positive mindset and consistent effort can make a big difference. Thank you for your support!

Lost and Found
Our lost and found collection is getting too big! Next week we'll have the lost and found items out front. If you suspect that your student has left some things behind at school, please come take a look so that you can collect what is yours. Thank you!
