On Monday and Wednesday, Mrs. Lipinski facilitated the Star Lab in the Multi-purpose room. Each class in first through fourth grade had an opportunity to visit the Star Lab to learn about our galaxy. This is a portable planetarium provided by Wayne County RESA. Thank you Mrs. Lipinski for sharing your love for Science with our Hoover Rockets.
IREADY Diagnostic Window (1/29-2/16)Students will be taking the Second Round of the I-READY Diagnostics in reading and math. Students will be taking these assessments on Chromebooks or in the Computer Lab between January 29th and February 16th.
