7th Grade News, January 12

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone's break provided time to enjoy loved ones while also allowing time to unwind. With the new year and the second semester beginning, our students took both the STAR Reading and Math tests this week. These tests are aimed at measuring growth that students have made during the first semester allowing us to find gaps and ensure students are moving forward.
