Hi Hornet Family! I hope all is well in your neck of the woods with all of the crazy happening in our world lately. Here are a few enrichment assignments to keep your student on track so they don't regress and lose all they have worked so hard to achieve! Keep checking the school's website & social media for any news/changes regarding the status of school during these uncertain times.
There are TWO ways to access/complete these activities.
1. You may print them off or go to the school to receive printed copies. These copies will be available at the school on Wednesday, March 18th.
2. These are located on our Google Classroom in which they may be completed through the student's account on ReadWorks actual website.
