Over the next few weeks students will be writing the spring Highest Level Achievement Test (HLAT). Students are given a topic to write about and a period of time to complete their task. This assessment allows us to track student progress in writing tasks. After they are written, teachers work together to assess based on grade level standards. It is another data point in helping us support student success.

Below you can find the updated volunteer package for 2024-2025, you can also drop by the school for a paper package and we can help with any questions you might have.
