Send in Box Tops!
Our last box top competition was so successful that we have decided to do it again! The top intermediate and primary classes will earn a pizza party. The competition runs until February 12th. 805 API!
The API is a single number, ranging from a low of 200 to a high of 1000, that reflects a school’sperformance level based on the results of statewide testing. Its purpose is to measure the academic performance and growth of schools. Reaching 800 is a goal we have been working towards for years and have at last achieved it thanks to the hardwork of our staff, parents, and students! Congratulations everyone! |
