Wow, what a year it's been! As we wrap up the school year, we want to thank you for all your support and involvement. You've helped make this year truly special for our students.

Your dedication has been incredible, from fun events to everyday classroom victories. We're so proud of our students and the wonderful community we've built together.

Thank you for being such an essential part of this journey. We can't wait to see what the future holds and wish you all a fantastic summer break!

The ESOL Team teachers work in many classrooms to support students who speak multiple languages. We would like to thank you for a wonderful year of working with your children. We have seen how smart they are and how they work hard to learn and practice using the English Language. We would like to make sure that parents of English Learners are aware that they will be receiving their child’s Access Test Scores sometime during the month of May. This is an exciting time to celebrate your child in the area of growing in their English language proficiency. Parents will be able to see how their child scored on the Access Test in the areas of listening (and understanding the English language), speaking (English), reading, and writing in English.
