MAP Growth Administration Coming Week of November 27th
Students will be taking their second MAP Growth assessments the week of November 27th. Please be sure students in Grades 1-5 bring their fully charged Chromebook to school each day. In addition, please be sure all students have a good night's rest and eat a good breakfast so they are ready to have a good day and do their best when working on the MAP Growth tests. Thank you!
Lost and Found Clothing (Reposting)
Many clothing items have been found around campus and are in the Lost and Found in the MPR. If your child has lost an item of clothing, please encourage them to check the Lost and Found to claim anything that has been turned in. We also highly recommend writing your child's name on the tag in coats and sweaters to help with returning items. Items left in the Lost and Found after a certain amount of time will be donated.
Limited Spaces Still Available - UNLV School of Dental Medicine On-Site Services Opportunity
The UNLV School of Dental Medicine is providing an opportunity for students to receive preventive services on November 28th and 30th at our school. This opportunity will provide oral health screenings, dental sealants, fluoride varnish, oral health education, and oral hygiene instruction to students with parent/guardian permission. A packet of information with an application has been sent home with students. For those interested, please completely fill out the packet and return it to school as soon as possible. Space is limited and participants will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Forms are due to the front office as soon as possible.
This Week's Attendance Update

- Pre-K: 94.8%
