Director’s Message Dear Parents Students are breathing a sigh of relief as they finish their series of testing sessions regarding MAP (The Measure of Academic Progress); a test given twice a year to assess student academic growth. The areas tested are Reading, Language Arts (Writing) and Mathematics. The results of the test will be available to the parents once they are processed in the U.S. by the Northwest Evaluation Association. As we are now just finishing the first reporting period, students will soon be receiving the first quintile grades. Should you have any questions regarding their reports, please call and make an appointment with their individual teacher. Mr Bud Iles Director

Science Class Nature Walk 5 year olds Science Class 5yr olds In the 5 year old Science Class, we started a new section called 'Collections of Nature'. The children had to distinguish between things that came from nature and things that were man-made. After a discussion, the children went on a nature walk to gather different types of natural materials. They collected leaves, flowers, rocks, fruit and shells...and they had a good time doing so!
