Happy Monday, Cougars! What did your learning day look like? Show us those learning spaces and your hard working kiddos by adding your pictures to the comments!
As part of your learning each day, don't forget to help your child submit his/her assignments into Google Classroom. This is an important part of each student's educational journey. Completed assignments are graded and will help teachers see what skills students are successful with and which ones need additional support/instruction.
If you need help, please reach out to your child's teacher or call the office. We are here to support you!
