Our K5 classrooms are working hard on Literacy. From classroom discussions about books, to building words on letter trays, to finding heart words in decodable texts, our K5 teachers and students are doing an amazing job!

If you were unable to attend the Annual Title I Meeting at Literacy Night, this is the link to the Title I presentation. This presentation will help you learn more about Title I and how it benefits our students and families.
