Dear Parents,

Today we concluded a busy week of the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). Thank you all for your support and to our PTO for their generous donations of healthy snacks to nourish the students as they worked hard on the ITBS.

I can’t believe we are halfway through our 3rd trimester! Kindergarten–8th-grade parents will be emailed their child’s progress report this evening. As always, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher with any questions or concerns.

Our SJB team included sixth grader Jorge Rodriguez and seventh graders Sophia Bernardez, Celine Salloum, Theresa Gove, and Harmony Rodriguez.
