Mrs. Bartz's Kindergarten 2022-2023

      Kindergarten Announcements Assessment We finished up our NWEA tests last week and this week I will be spending some time one on one with each student doing their end of the year assessments. We will also be doing some whole class assessments as we prepare to send them on to 1st grade! Only 14 days of Kindergarten left!!!! All of your children have grown and learned so much this year.
