Singapore Math Info Session

There will be a Singapore math info session on Friday, December 5 at about 8:15am. This session is open to parents of children in 1st-7th grades who are using Singapore math in their classes so that you can better understand the method of instruction we use in our math curriculum. 
twoEduMastery After School Spanish Program Demo

We are planning on starting an after school Spanish program through EduMastery in the Spring semester (15 weekly classes). This program will be offered after school on either Tuesdays or Wednesdays for a charge of $280 per student for the semester. Classes are limited to 1st-5th graders and are in groups of 1st-2nd, 3rd-4th, and 5th grades with 12 students per group at maximum. There will be a demo session to help you better understand the program and curriculum on Tuesday, December 9 at 3:10pm. The session will actually be a class so you can see firsthand how the subject matter will be taught. For this demo session, we are in need of 9 students from one group to sign up. If you would like your 1st-5th grader to partake in this demo or you're interested in signing them up for the program, please let us know by filling out this simple form. (This is not an official sign up for the actual program. That will come later.)
