With the new building project, we nished one of the four new classrooms for the school. We have started the discussion regarding the possibility of completing one or all three of the classrooms this summer. Our plan is to add either another kindergarten or a new pre k room.
We need your help. In order to make this a possibility, we are looking for school parents, alumni, and parishioners to help volunteer their time and talent. We are also looking for getting some of the materials donated or purchased at a discount rate. Please contact Karen Bursey if you can help.

MAP NWEA testing Students in grades 1-7 will begin spring MAP testing beginning April 26-May 14th. Your childs teacher will inform you when testing will be for your child. Depending on the grade level, your child will have 3-4 different test days/times in the computer lab. This test is a powerful tool to help us monitor student growth over time. Your child took the test in fall, teachers then shared the results with you and student goals were set so that we could partner with you at home and school to help your child meet his/her targeted growth goals. Please make sure your child is well rested and on time for school. Test results will be sent home at the end of May.
