Welcome Back!

This week’s schedule will be much different than what we will normally be doing. Students will be STAR testing and beginning to use some of the online programs that will be used this semester. The newest software is called SkillsTutor. SkillsTutor provides individualized instruction, diagnostic testing, prescriptive assignments and automatic reporting in numerous subjects such as reading comprehension and vocabulary, grammar, spelling, and informational skills.
If we all work together, we can make this the best year ever!
