CRCT Family Night |
|
 In
early spring, parents and students of 3rd,
4th, and 5th grade
students are invited to a special night of CRCT
focus and practice. Parents are given a whole
group explanation of the CRCT by the Principal.
Then they rotate from their child’s classroom
(where they take a practice test with their
student) to a computer lab (where they practice
on-line test questions using OAS and Skills
Tutor). Both of these programs are available for
practice at home.

Red Ribbon Week |
|
 “Saying
No to Drugs” is celebrated by the entire school
to represent how proud we are that we are a Drug
Free Campus. In October each year, students and
staff participate in Red Ribbon Week to announce
their commitment to staying drug free. Students
dress up each day that week to show their
support of this program. Some of our students in
the picture are “tying up drugs”.
