This week! #TheBulldogWay

Next week, our students will take their interim assessments. These tests are an important tool that helps us understand where students are academically and how we can best support their growth.

We ask parents to help by ensuring students get a good night’s rest and are present each day during testing. Consistent attendance and proper rest allow us to get the most accurate picture of student progress and learning needs.

Thank you for partnering with us to help every student succeed! #TheBulldogWay
