Mrs. Kennett’s Newsletter Week of 11/2-11/6 Hi Parents, I hope that everyone is doing well and staying dry! Our fall celebration was a success! Thank you to all of the parents that helped out one way or another. Your effort and help is greatly appreciated!!!! Benchmark Testing: We are taking district benchmarks in both math and reading this week. Today students tested in Math and will test in Reading on Thursday. These are given to ensure that our students are learning what is being taught. The data we receive is used to direct instruction. Please be sure your child gets a good night’s rest on Wednesday.
