  Hello Parents & Guardians, Important updates and reminders: No school this Friday, October 8th => System-wide PD-Day No school on Monday, October 11th => Thanksgiving Long Weekend Math Assessment on Decimals and Place Value was sent home today Science Quiz tomorrow on Analyzing tree cookies / Types and Parts of Trees Today in science every student was tasked to analyze and measure the growth of a tree cookie (round disk that shows the growth rings).
