Greetings,
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Spring Break.
As you know the FSA Writing assessment was conducted the
week of March 2nd and I am happy to report our computer
issues were minimal. All students received information on their
schedule for RTI tutorials prior to the break for our first session
on March 16th. We will have a total of four sessions (March 23,
March 30, and April 6) to assist in preparing our student for
district and state assessments.
As always, thank you fro partnering with us in educations.
Regards,
Dr. Butler
