MAP Testing

Second Grade students will take the end of the year MAP Test (Measure of Academic Progress)  on April 23-24.  This is a computerized  test which helps teachers, parents, and administrators improve learning for all students and make informed decisions to promote a child's academic growth.  Below  is a site to help students prepare for success.

Zoo Field Study

Thursday, April 25th, will be our field study to the River Bank Zoo.  
As we all know the zoo is a very large place and can be a bit crowded
at times.    Therefore, I would like your assistance with this trip.
If you are available to chaperone, please contact me through email,
phone, or Class Tag. If possible, students should wear a t-shirt that
has Killian written on it or their uniform. Chaperones  must pay an
entry fee at the zoo. There will be  a limit of 2 chaperones per class on the bus.
