As we near the end of the school year, we want to recognize the hard work of our students and staff - especially as we begin CAASPP and NWEA testing. CAASPP assesses how well students in grades 3–8 are mastering English, math, and science (grades 5 & 8), while NWEA measures growth in grades TK–2. These results help us track progress and guide instruction. Our proficiency levels have steadily improved, thanks to our students’ effort, our teachers’ dedication, and your support. Let’s keep the momentum going! Please encourage your student(s) to do their best, get plenty of rest, and know their effort matters. Thank you for being a vital part of our community!

Tomorrow, April 24, our students will get to experience a "taste" of a Farmer's Market!" With the help of a grant from the CDE and the facilitation of our cafeteria staff, all of our students will get to "shop" at our very own Farmer's Market. Students will receive "Elk Bucks" to shop. Please see the post for more details. The last Farmer's Market was a big success with the students!
