Newsletter - May 2nd
I hope everyone is finally enjoying this weather we are having. Our students have returned from Tawain earlier this week and we are so grateful for all the families who trusted us with their little people and the chaperones who accompanied our kids and made this rich cultural experience possible for our students. We are completing Middle School Language Arts CAPE this week and look to close out CAPE at the Adams campus next week as Middle Schoolers complete the Math portion of the assessment. Oyster campus will begin CAPE in grade 3 next week. Below are a few updates.
