Yorkville Social Studies

TCAP tests will be here before you know it.  Please remember every day at school is important.  I need your child here as often and much as possible!  We want them to be prepared.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN SOCIAL STUDIES:
We have made it to the halfway point and now is the time to see what they remember.  We are studying, reviewing and getting prepared for midterms. 

6th Grade homeroom will be having our Christmas party next Friday morning.  Please check with your student to see what you need to send.
