As we are getting closer to end of the first quarter on October 15th, it is important for your children to be keeping an eye on their grades. Each of them know where to go and their login information for FACTS. Mrs. Barrios I give the students an opportunity to check their grades weekly and encourage them to come and talk to us about missing or failing work. Please have a conversation with your student at home about taking these opportunities to improve. They need to take responsibility to come and talk to their teachers and follow through with handing in the extra work given to them. We both want to see each student feel successful this year! 

Our K-5 October Chapel is on October 8th. Our fifth graders have important leadership roles, and would love for you to come support them if possible.

Our Vocabulary unit this week will only be a one week unit. Students will be tested on the definitions of their new vocabulary words this Friday, October 3rd.

Vocabulary: Please check in with your student each night and see if they have completed another section of their packet and/or studied their words and definitions .
