A SPECIAL NOTE FROM MRS. BRANDENBURG
Dear Twin Branch Families, I trust you all had a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break! We are now gearing up for our last round of ISTEP which begins on April 27th. All of our students will be ready for testing which will be taken on the computer, there is no paper/pencil testing this round. The school year has flown by and there are not many weeks left. Please continue to read Tiger Tales as there will be many fun and exciting activities for students to participate in throughout the remainder of the school year. Thank you for all you do for our Twin Branch students. We are the TIGERS! Sincerely, Mrs. Brandenburg KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT
