We are on a BLOCK SCHEDULE to reduce hallway transitions. Also, no lockers this week so only bring essential items. MAP testing will begin on Tuesday, Jan. 11. Bring charged Chromebooks!

Read a book during the winter break and enter the Reading Challenge. The deadline has been extended to Jan. 9 so it's not too late. All students and staff who read a book during the winter break can enter their names into a random drawing. Six lucky students will win an ELT session in the library's VR studio. Two virtual students will win Dairy Queen gift cards. And the team with the most participation will win an ELT in the library's Creative Space. You must read your book during the break and only one entry per person. Click Here to enter. Contact Ms. Kochel with questions. 

The Fall 2021 book fair runs from Nov. 8-21. Please shop our Scholastic Book Fair to benefit our school and to get some great new books.
