Brent Kennedy Elementary's production of the Littlest Christmas Tree was a huge success!
The gym was full at 1:30 p.m. on both December 14 and 15 and it was standing room only at concert time.
Early Learning Profile
Brent Kennedy Elementary primary teachers have been busy this year and last working through the Early Learning Profile assessment that is being used district-wide. This assessment provides a concise snapshot of students' strengths and stretches which then inform teaching practices and interventions, if needed.
