Hi, Students
Hope you enjoyed Spring Break! This week we'll be taking the CRCT tests. Make sure you're getting plenty of sleep at night and eating a nutritious breakfast. Below are some websites we've used this year. You may find it helpful to use them for review or just to play games for learning fun! Also, remember that you can use Nettrekker and GALILEO at school for all subjects and research. Just ask your Media Specialist or teachers for help accessing these!
We look forward to seeing you back at school!
