Our students will take MAP tests March 17–19. These assessments help us measure each student’s growth and achievement throughout the school year — and celebrate how far they’ve come!

It’s especially important that students are on time, well rested, and ready to do their best on testing days. A good night’s sleep and a positive mindset can make all the difference!

We’re proud of our students and can’t wait to see their growth shine!

Our students have been hard at work and having fun while learning! They wowed us with their Readers Theater performances, shared thoughtful presentations from their literature circles, and practiced math facts by playing trash! In math, students measured their broad jumps and used the class data to create a line plot—what a great real-world connection! We also loved seeing their creativity shine through beautiful watercolor paintings. We are so proud of their effort and enthusiasm!

Learning is in full swing at Flaherty Elementary!

Our students have been hard at work and having fun along the way! From playing interactive games to review for an upcoming math test, to creating beautiful Valentine’s art, they are showing that learning can be both meaningful and exciting.

We’ve also seen teamwork and sportsmanship on the basketball court, thoughtful discussions during book clubs, and impressive focus as students used rubrics to evaluate and strengthen their writing.

We are so proud of the effort, creativity, and growth happening every single day. Way to go, Blue Devils! 💙✨
