i-Ready Inform Testing is Coming! Our Bears will be showing what they know during i-Ready progress monitoring assessments November 16–19! Reading will take place Monday and Tuesday, with Math on Wednesday and Thursday.

Help Our Bears GROW! Please ensure your child gets plenty of rest, eats a healthy breakfast, arrives on time, and is ready to give their BEARiest best! These assessments help us celebrate GROWth and identify areas for continued learning.

As we head into November, let's be intentional about encouraging our Bears to show up EVERY DAY, every instructional minute matters, and consistent attendance is essential to academic GROWth! With a full week off for Thanksgiving break just around the corner, let's work together to make every day leading up to it count. We have plenty of time to rest coming soon, but learning can't wait!
