Students celebrated their IReady Growth with a dance themed The More You Grow The More You Glow today! Their parent reports and certificates for anyone who met their mid-year goal of 50% of their typical growth should have come home today. If not, it will get sent home on Monday. Please take a look at these reports and review them with your student. You want to see their graph getting higher each time they take it. We will take it again in May. If you have any questions about the reports, reach out to your child's teacher or the office. Have a great weekend!
