Fridays: Math and Language Bell Work Quizzes
Your child should be taking home their bell work each Thursday to use as a review for Friday's quiz.
Wednesdays: HMH Weekly Assessment
To help prepare, students should be taking home grammar and reading skills practice sheets that they have completed in class throughout the week.
Your child's login information for HMH, Google Classroom, and ST Math is their 111 number. Their password is their letter password (your Gator will know what that is ;)). For Lexia, the username and password is their 111 Number.
Students may access Clever here to use the learning programs at home. Once they log in to Clever, they will not need to use any additional passwords. If your child is not at grade level in Lexia or ST Math, at-home practice is crucial.
Dress Code Reminders: Please visit the Crane Schools Site to review the district dress code policy. Students who violate the dress code will receive 2 verbal reminders. Continuous violation of the dress code will result in your child being sent to the office to wait for you to bring an outfit change. Only solid-colored sweaters will be allowed in the classroom. Students who bring hats to school must refrain from using them indoors.
