Today we celebrated Day 1 of EOGs the best way we know how… ICE CREAM! 🍦
And do you know what? Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders ALL showed up today! We had perfect attendance across our upper grades, and our students came ready to show what they know. We are so proud of their hard work, determination, and positive attitudes!
Get some rest tonight, Stars — we’ll see you tomorrow for Day 2: Math! ➕📚





The EOGs are coming! 📚✏️
Save the date and help your student get ready for success. Together, we can help our students feel confident, prepared, and ready to shine on testing day! ⭐️

What better way to prepare for the EOGs than by participating in The Amazing Race…
Last week, our fifth graders put their skills to the test during The Amazing Race, working quickly through EOG-style clues and challenges. Students used teamwork, critical thinking, and perseverance as they raced from station to station solving problems along the way.
Learning + competition + fun = the perfect way to get our students excited and confident for EOG season! We are so proud of their hard work and determination. 🌟
