Here are a few brief announcements:

Spring Break: School will be closed April 14th-18th for Spring Break. Tutoring will resume Monday, April 21st.

Sessions Cancelled : On Monday, April 7th, we will be hosting a Home Connections Event from 3-5pm. Students and their families will be making books together. Regular sessions are cancelled during this time, but you are invited to attend and help your student make a book! Please let me know if you would like to attend, and I can check on your student's after school availability.

STAR Testing: Starting April 28th and running through May 7th, the State of California will be conducting their annual STAR Tests with 2nd through 5th graders.
