Spring assessments will be here before we know and our learners are working VERY HARD on mastering their math facts!
Did you know that repeated practice helps students to master fact fluency? Five minutes of fact fluency practice at home everyday is all we are asking for.
If your child is in:
Kindergarten - 2nd grade: Please practice addition and subtraction facts.
3rd-6th grade: Please practice multiplication and division facts.
Even our 7th and 8th graders would benefit from repeated practice of these skills.

Tonight is one of our favorite night's of the year! We will be hosting a kindergarten information night in the Ellis School library at 6:00pm for our incoming kindergarten families. We can't wait to welcome them to the nest!
This afternoon, our faculty and staff gathered in the library to learn about the latest research surrounding the science of reading. Our presenter, Elizabeth Cannon, is this year's recipient of the prestigious Christa McAuliffe Sabbatical. In addition to sharing her expertise this afternoon, Ms. Cannon has been collaborating with our reading specialist, Mrs. Kelly, to ensure that we are embedding the latest research into our daily instruction.
