2nd Grade and 5th Grade students will be taking the MAP Growth Test in Reading and Math during the dates of December 3-14.  Your children's teachers will communicate their exact testing dates within this time frame to you.  This testing is used to measure student growth in the areas of reading and math as well as provide information about academic placement.

The Bell's Crossing PTA is excited to begin using the online platform, MemberHub, to communicate with our members. Current PTA members should have received an email from MemberHub with more information.  If you have not received the email, then please email bellscrossingmembership@gmail.com (and include your name and your student's name).  MemberHub also has an online school store where you can purchase Bell’s Crossing Spirit Wear throughout the year now!  Make sure to click on the Shop section to check it out and place your order by November 30 in time for delivery before the holidays.
