Hello Hawks Rise Families,
It was wonderful to have our students for a full week—our first one in a while! Our students completed the FAST Progress Monitoring 1 assessment this past week, and we are using data to plan instruction,
interventions, and enrichment. Our teachers are amazing, and we appreciate all they do to help our students succeed.
We can't wait to see you at Open House Thursday evening!
