Hunters Woods Library
Join us at our next PTA meeting tonight. We'll provide updates on current activities and will have a guest speaker, Tara Prohoniak, Math Resource Teacher.
Ms. Prohoniak will share information about the new universal screener in math called the MAP Growth Assessment. Details will include how families can understand their students’ results, how teachers use the data to drive instruction and make decisions within our Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) to provide necessary intervention.
Financial Literacy Workshop for Students
During the meeting, we'll also have a special financial literacy lesson for 1st-6th graders. See flyer directly below.
